TECHNICAL FIELD
[0003] The application relates to medicine. The disclosure, in
particular, relates to antibodies and antigen-binding fragments
that specifically bind to microtubule-associated protein tau. The
disclosure also relates to diagnostic, prophylactic and therapeutic
methods using anti-tau antibodies.
BACKGROUND
[0004] Dementia is a syndrome that can be caused by a number of
progressive disorders that affect memory, thinking, behavior and
the ability to perform everyday activities. About 36 million people
worldwide are suffering from dementia today. The number of people
with dementia is projected to double by 2030, and more than triple
to 115.4 million people by 2050. Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the
most common type of dementia. Currently, one in nine people age 65
and older (11 percent) and nearly half of those over age 85 have
Alzheimer's disease. According to Alzheimer's Disease
International, current global costs of caring for these patients
exceeds $600 billion annually. These costs are likely to rise even
faster than the prevalence of disease, especially in the developing
world, as more formal social care systems emerge, and rising
incomes lead to higher opportunity costs (B. Winblad and L Jonsson,
World Alzheimer Report 2010).
[0005] The brains of AD patients have an abundance of two abnormal
structures, amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles. This is
especially true in certain regions of the brain that are important
in memory. There is also a substantial loss of neurons and synapses
in the cerebral cortex and certain subcortical regions. Both
neurofibrillary tangles and neuronal loss increase in parallel with
the duration and severity of illness (T. Gomez-Isla et al., Ann.
Neurol. 1997; 41:17-24) and neurofibrillary load has been shown to
correlate with cognitive decline (H. Braak and E. Braak, Neurobiol.
Aging 1997 July-August; 18(4):351-7).
[0006] Neurofibrillary tangles are intraneuronal lesions that are
composed of hyperphosphorylated and insoluble accumulations of the
microtubule-associated protein, tau. These accumulations are a
histopathological feature of many neurodegenerative diseases, which
are collectively known as tauopathies. Tauopathies include, e.g.,
Alzheimer's disease (AD), Pick's disease (PiD), progressive
supranuclear palsy (PSP), corticobasal degeneration (CBD), and
frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD). In human tauopathies,
pathology progresses from one brain region to another in
disease-specific patterns (H. Braak and E. Braak, Neurobiol. Aging
1997 July-August; 18(4):351-7; Raj et al., Neuron. 2012;
73:1204-1215; Seeley et al., Neuron. 2009; 62:42-52; and Zhou et
al. Neuron. 2012; 73:1216-1227), the underlying mechanism of which
is not yet clear.
[0007] Tau pathology is involved in and may be a cause of many
tauopathies. In its normal form, tau is a highly soluble
microtubule-associated protein (Jeganathan et al., Biochemistry
2008, 47:10526-10539) that binds and promotes the assembly of
microtubules (Drechsel et al., Mol. Biol. Cell. 1992, 3:1141-1154).
However, in tauopathies, tau becomes hyperphosphorylated, causing
detachment from microtubules, and ultimately accumulation as
neurofibrillary tangles that are visualized within dystrophic
neurites and cell bodies (Mandelkow and Mandelkow, Cold Spring
Harbor, Perspect. Med. 2, 2012: a006247). The amount of tau
pathology correlates with progressive neuronal dysfunction,
synaptic loss, and functional decline in humans and transgenic
mouse models (Arriagada et al., Neurology 1992 March; 42(3 Pt
1):631-9; Bancher et al., Neurosci. Lett. 1993, 162:179-182;
Polydoro et al., J. Neuroscience 2009, 29:10741-10749; and Small
and Duff, Neuron. 2008 Nov. 26; 60(4):534-42). While there have
been no tau mutations observed in Alzheimer's disease, mutations in
the tau gene appear to cause some forms of frontotemporal dementia
(Cairns et al., Am. J. Pathol. 2007, 171:227-40), presenting with
tau-positive inclusions and signifying that tau dysfunction is
sufficient to cause neurodegeneration. Moreover, pathological tau
appears to be an integral part of AP-induced neurotoxicity in cell
culture and transgenic animal models (M. Rapoport, PNAS 2002, 99:9,
6364-6369; E. D. Roberson et al., Science 2007, 316:750-754; A. M.
Nicholson and A. Ferreira, J. Neurosci. 2009, 29:4640-4651; H.
Oakley, J. Neurosci. 2006, 26(40):10129-10140).
[0008] Passive and active immunizations against tau have been
analyzed in mice using several different mouse models, including
different phospho-tau peptides for active immunizations and
anti-tau antibodies for passive immunotherapy (A. A. Asuni et al.,
J. Neurosci. 2007, 27(34):9115-9129; E. M. Sigurdsson, Curr.
Alzheimer Res. 2009, 6(5):446-450; A. Boutajangout et al., J.
Neurosci. 2010, 30(49):16559-16566; H. Rosenmann et al., Arch.
Neurol. 2006, 63(10):1459-1467; M. Boimel et al., Exp. Neurol.
2010, 224(2):472-485). In the first report describing immunizations
with a 30-amino acid phosphorylated tau peptide, an effect on the
ratios of soluble and insoluble tau, reduction of tangle formation
in the immunized mice, and functional benefits observed in behavior
testing for these mice were shown (A. Boutajangout et al., J.
Neuroscience 2010, 30:16559-16566). Passive immunization with
well-characterized anti-tau antibodies, which react with
phosphorylated Ser396 and Ser404 of the hyperphosphorylated tau
protein at an early pathologic conformational epitope on tau,
confirmed the results seen in active immunization studies. Mice
treated with these antibodies showed marked reductions in tau
pathology, which was measured by biochemical methods and histology,
as well as a significant delay in loss of motor-function decline
that was assessed in behavioral testing (A. Boutajangout et al., J.
Neurochem. 2011, 118(4):658-667; X. Chai et al., J. Biol. Chem.
2011, 286(39):34457-34467).
[0009] Tau-based therapies have only been analyzed in mouse models
to date. But in view of the severity of tauopathies in general, and
to the cost to society of Alzheimer's disease specifically, there
is an ongoing need for effective means to diagnose, monitor,
prevent and treat tauopathies.
BRIEF SUMMARY
[0010] Provided are antibodies comprising an antigen-binding
variable region that binds specifically to tau. Provided in
particular, are anti-tau antibodies, and antigen-binding fragments
thereof, that detect tau in normal human brain tissue, or detect
tau deposits in human Alzheimer's Disease (AD) and Progressive
Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) brain tissue. In certain embodiments, the
anti-tau antibodies, and antigen-binding fragments thereof, bind to
recombinant tau and/or paired helical filament ("PHF")-tau by
Western assay.
[0011] Further provided are chimeric antibodies comprising an
antigen-binding variable region from a naturally occurring human
antibody that binds specifically to tau, and a recombinant constant
region of a human IgG1, wherein the constant region of the chimeric
antibody is different from the naturally occurring antibody.
[0012] In certain embodiments, provided are chimeric anti-tau
antibodies, and antigen-binding fragments thereof, that detect tau
in normal human brain tissue, but do not detect tau deposits in
human Alzheimer's Disease (AD) and Progressive Supranuclear Palsy
(PSP) brain tissue.
[0013] In certain embodiments, the (chimeric) anti-tau antibodies,
and antigen-binding fragments thereof, bind to recombinant tau
and/or PHF-tau by Western assay. In certain embodiments, the
anti-tau antibodies, and antigen-binding fragments thereof, do not
bind to recombinant tau or PHF-tau in an ELISA. The antibodies and
antigen-binding fragments are preferentially capable of
specifically binding to a tau peptide. In some embodiments, the
antibodies and antigen-binding fragments are preferentially capable
of specifically binding to a tau phospho-peptide but do not bind
the peptide when it is not phosphorylated.
[0014] In certain embodiments, the anti-tau antibodies are not
naturally occurring. Preferably, the antibodies are human.
[0015] The antibodies and antigen-binding fragments of the

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Definitions
[0044] The term "included" or "including" as used herein is deemed
to be followed by the words "without limitation."
[0045] The term "tau" as used herein, is used interchangeably to
specifically refer to the native monomer form of tau. The term
"tau" is also used to generally identify other conformers of tau,
for example, oligomers or aggregates of tau. The term "tau" is also
used to refer collectively to all types and forms of tau. Due to
alternative splicing, six tau isoforms are present in the human
brain. These isoforms differ by the absence or presence of one or
two 29-amino acid inserts encoded by exon 2 and 3 in the
amino-terminal part, in combination with either three (R1, R3 and
R4) or four (R1-R4) repeat-regions in the carboxy-terminal part.
The microtubule-binding domain is encoded by exon 10. The adult tau
isoforms include the longest 441-amino acid component (SEQ ID
NO:1), or 4R/2N, the 410-amino acids component (SEQ ID NO:2), or
3R/2N, the 412-amino acids component (SEQ ID NO:3), or 4R/1N, the
381-amino acids component (SEQ ID NO:4), or 3R/1N and the 383-amino
acids component (SEQ ID NO:5) or 4R/ON. The shortest 352-amino
acids isoform (SEQ ID NO:6), or 3R/ON, is found in the fetal brain,
and thus is referred to as fetal tau isoform.
[0046] The "wild type" tau amino acid sequence is represented by
the 441 amino acid isoform (SEQ ID NO:1) also referred to as
"tau441," "4R/2N," "hTau40," "TauF," "Tau-4" or "full-length
tau."
[0047] The term "recombinant tau" herein, refers to the longest
isoform of human brain Tau (SEQ ID NO:1) expressed in E. coli and
purified to homogeneity or near homogeneity (S. Barghorn, Meth.
Mol. Biol. 2004 299:35-51). Recombinant tau is soluble and is not
phosphorylated.
[0048] The term "neurofibrillary tangle" (NFT) refers to the
pathological structures first described by Alzheimer in the brain
of dementia patients. NFT are composed of orderly arranged subunits
called paired helical filament aggregates of hyperphosphorylated
tau protein that are most commonly known as a primary marker of
Alzheimer's Disease.
[0049] The term "paired helical filament-tau" or "PHF-tau" as used
herein refers to well-known tau aggregates that make up the
pathological structures called neurofibrillary tangles (NFT), first
described by Alzheimer in the brain of dementia patients. Their
presence is also found in numerous other diseases known as
tauopathies.
[0050] "Enriched PHF-tau" or "ePHF-tau," is prepared according to
the protocol of Greenberg and Davies as detailed in the Examples.
PHF-tau is enriched from 27,200.times.g supernatants containing 0.8
M NaCl by taking advantage of their insolubility in zwitterionic
detergents (K. S. Kosik et al. (1986) PNAS USA 83:4044-4048; R.
Rubenstein et al. (1986) Brain Res. 372:80-88) and mercaptoethanol.
PHFs isolated with zwitterionic detergents appear to maintain
antigenic sites that may be lost during the isolation of
SDS-insoluble NeuroFibular Tangles and are similar in structure and
contain many antigenic properties to PHF in NFTs. "Immunopurified
PHF-tau" or "iPHF-tau" is affinity purified with an anti-tau
monoclonal antibody. Such protocols have provided PHF-tau
preparations that retain the classical paired helical filament
structure by electron microscopy and are completely soluble in low
concentrations of SDS (G. Jicha, 1997, 48(2):128-32). PHF-tau is
also formed from recombinant tau by induction of polymerization in
vitro with heparin (Mandelkow, et al., Methods in Molecular Biology
299:35-51(2004). Alternatively, PHF-tau is isolated by various
other methods from brains of patients having AD using protocols,
such as described in Rostagna and Ghiso (A. Rostagna and J. Ghiso,
Curr. Protoc. Cell. Biol. September 2009; CHAPTER: Unit-3.3333).
The isolated PHF-tau is characterized for its purity and
hyperphosphorylation status with antibodies known to react with
PHF-tau. In a typical PHF-tau preparation, the hyperphosphorylated
bands migrating at about 60, 64, 68 and 72 kDa in Western blot
(Spillantini and Goedert, Trends Neurosci. 21:428-33, 1998) are
detected by an AT8 antibody that specifically binds
hyperphosphorylated PHF-tau but not dephosphorylated PHF-tau.
[0051] The term "antibodies" as used herein is meant in a broad
sense and includes immunoglobulin or antibody molecules including
polyclonal antibodies, monoclonal antibodies including murine,
human, human-adapted, humanized and chimeric monoclonal antibodies,
bispecific or multi-specific antibodies and antibody fragments. In
general, antibodies are proteins or peptide chains that exhibit
binding specificity to a defined antigen. Antibody structures are
well known. Immunoglobulins can be assigned to five major classes,
namely IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG and IgM, depending on the heavy chain
constant domain amino acid sequence. IgA and IgG are further
sub-classified as the isotypes IgA1, IgA2, IgG1, IgG2, IgG3 and
IgG4. Antibody light chains of any vertebrate species can be
assigned to one of two clearly distinct types, namely kappa (K) and
lambda (X), based on the amino acid sequences of their constant
domains.
[0052] The term "antigen-binding fragments" means a portion of an
intact antibody. Examples of antibody fragments include Fab, Fab',
F(ab')2 and Fv fragments, CDR, antigen-binding site, heavy or light
chain variable region, diabodies, triabodies single chain antibody
molecules (scFv) and multi-specific antibodies formed from at least
two intact antibodies or fragments thereof or (poly) peptides that
contain at least a fragment of an immunoglobin that is sufficient
to confer antigen binding to the (poly) peptide, etc. An
antigen-binding fragment may comprise a peptide or polypeptide
comprising an amino acid sequence of at least 2, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25,
30, 35, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 125, 150, 175, 200, or 250
contiguous amino acid residues of the amino acid sequence of the
antibody. The antigen-binding fragments may be produced
synthetically or by enzymatic or chemical cleavage of intact
immunoglobulins or they may be genetically engineered by
recombinant DNA techniques. The methods of production are well
known in the art and are described, for example, in Antibodies: A
Laboratory Manual, edited by E. Harlow and D. Lane (1988), Cold
Spring Harbor Laboratory, Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y., which is
incorporated herein by reference. An antibody or antigen-binding
fragment thereof may have one or more binding sites. If there is
more than one binding site, the binding sites may be identical to
one another or they may be different.
[0053] An immunoglobulin light or heavy chain variable region
consists of a "framework" region interrupted by "antigen-binding
sites." The antigen-binding sites are defined using various terms
as follows: (i) Complementarity-Determining Regions (CDRs) are
based on sequence variability (Wu and Kabat, J. Exp. Med.
132:211-50, 1970). Generally, the antigen-binding site has three
CDRs in each variable region (HCDR1, HCDR2 and HCDR3 in heavy chain
variable region (VH) and LCDR1, LCDR2 and LCDR3 in light chain
variable region (VL)) (Kabat et al., Sequences of Proteins of
Immunological Interest, 5th Ed. Public Health Service, National
Institute of Health, Bethesda, Md., 1991). (ii) The term
"hypervariable region," "HVR," or "HV" refers to the regions of an
antibody variable domain that are hypervariable in structure as
defined by Chothia and Lesk (Chothia and Lesk, J. Mol. Biol.
96:901-17, 1987). Generally, the antigen-binding site has three
hypervariable regions in each VH (H1, H2, H3) and VL (L1, L2, L3).
Chothia and Lesk refer to structurally conserved HVs as "canonical
structures." Numbering systems as well as annotation of CDRs and
HVs have recently been revised by Abhinandan and Martin (Abhinandan
and Martin, Mol. Immunol. 45:3832-9, 2008). (iii) Another
definition of the regions that form the antigen-binding site has
been proposed by Lefranc (Lefranc, et al., Dev. Camp. Immunol.
27:55-77, 2003) based on the comparison of V domains from
immunoglobulins and T-cell receptors. The International
ImMunoGeneTics (IMGT) database (http:_//www_imgt_org) provides a
standardized numbering and definition of these regions. The
correspondence between CDRs, HVs and IMGT delineations is described
in Lefranc et al. The antigen-binding site can also be delineated
based on Specificity-Determining Residue Usage (SDRU) (Almagro, J.
Mol. Recognit. 17:13243, 2004), where Specificity-Determining
Residues (SDR), refers to amino acid residues of an immunoglobulin
that are directly involved in antigen contact.
[0054] Kabat et al. also defined a numbering system for variable
domain sequences that is applicable to any antibody. One of
ordinary skill in the art can unambiguously assign this system of
"Kabat numbering" to any variable domain sequence, without reliance
on any experimental data beyond the sequence itself. As used
herein, "Kabat numbering" refers to the numbering system set forth
by Kabat et al., U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services, "Sequence
of Proteins of Immunological Interest" (1983). Unless otherwise
specified, references to the numbering of specific amino acid
residue positions in an antibody or antigen-binding fragment,
variant, or derivative thereof of the present disclosure are
according to the Kabat numbering system, which, however, is
theoretical and may not equally apply every antibody of the present
disclosure. For example, depending on the position of the first
CDR, the following CDRs might be shifted in either direction.
[0055] "Framework" or "framework sequence" are the remaining
sequences within the variable region of an antibody other than
those defined to be antigen-binding site sequences. Because the
exact definition of an antigen-binding site can be determined by
various delineations as described above, the exact framework
sequence depends on the definition of the antigen-binding site.
[0056] The term "monoclonal antibody" (mAb) as used herein means an
antibody (or antibody fragment) obtained from a population of
substantially homogeneous antibodies. Monoclonal antibodies are
highly specific, typically being directed against a single
antigenic determinant.
[0057] In one aspect, the antibody of the present disclosure is a
chimeric human antibody. Thus, in accordance with the present
disclosure, the terms "human chimeric antibody" or "human
recombinant antibody" and the like are used to denote a binding
molecule, which antigen-binding features originated from a human
cell, i.e., which antigen-binding site is derived from nucleic
acids produced from a human cell such as a B cell, or the partial
cDNA of which has been cloned from mRNA of a human cell, for
example, a human memory B cell. A chimeric antibody is still
"human" even if amino acid substitutions are made in the antibody,
e.g., to improve biophysical or pharmacokinetic characteristics.
Compared to artificially generated human-like antibodies such as
single chain antibody fragments (scFvs) from a phage displayed
antibody library or xenogeneic mice, the chimeric human antibody of
the present disclosure is characterized by (i) the antigen-binding
region being obtained using the human immune response rather than
that of animal surrogates, i.e., the antigen-binding region has
been generated in response to natural tau in its relevant
conformation in the human body, and/or (ii) having protected the
individual or is at least significant for the presence of tau.
[0058] Antibodies originating from human immunoglobulin libraries
or from animals transgenic for one or more human immunoglobulins
and that do not express endogenous immunoglobulins, as described
infra and, for example, in, U.S. Pat. No. 5,939,598 by Kucherlapati
et al., are denoted human-like antibodies in order to distinguish
them from human-derived antibodies of the present disclosure.
[0059] For example, the pairing of heavy and light chains of
human-like antibodies such as synthetic and semi-synthetic
antibodies typically isolated from phage display do not necessarily
reflect the original paring as it occurred in the original human B
cell. Accordingly, Fab and scFv fragments obtained from recombinant
expression libraries as commonly used in the prior art can be
considered as being artificial with all possible associated effects
on immunogenicity and stability. In contrast, the present
disclosure provides antigen-binding regions of affinity-matured
anti-tau antibodies from selected human subjects, which, in certain
embodiments, are recombinantly expressed as chimeras with a common
IgG1 constant region.
[0060] The term "functional variant," as used herein, refers to an
antibody that comprises a nucleotide and/or amino acid sequence
that is altered by one or more nucleotides and/or amino acids
compared to the nucleotide and/or amino acid sequences of a
reference antibody and that is capable of competing for specific
binding to the binding partner, i.e., tau, with the reference
antibody. In other words, the modifications in the amino acid
and/or nucleotide sequence of the reference antibody do not
significantly affect or alter the binding characteristics of the
antibody encoded by the nucleotide sequence or containing the amino
acid sequence, i.e., the antibody is still able to specifically
recognize and bind its target. The functional variant may have
conservative sequence modifications including nucleotide and amino
acid substitutions, additions and deletions. Examples of functional
variants include de-risking a free Cysteine or amino acid with
potential post-translational modification in the hypervariable
region, as well as Fc engineering to increase/decrease the binding
affinity of IgG antibodies to FcRn, and increase/decrease serum
half-life. A functional variant can also be generation of the
antibody as a human chimeric or non-chimeric IgG2, IgG3 or IgG4
isotype, or as a chimeric or non-chimeric isotype of a different
species. A functional variant can also be a mutation or mutations
of the constant regions for enhancement of bispecific antibody
formation. These modifications can be introduced by standard
techniques known in the art, such as PCR, site-directed mutagenesis
and random PCR-mediated mutagenesis, and may comprise natural as
well as non-natural nucleotides and amino acids.
[0061] The term "specifically binding" or "specifically recognize,"
as used herein, in reference to the interaction of an antibody and
its binding partner, e.g., an antigen, means that the interaction
is dependent upon the presence of a particular amino acid sequence
or structure, e.g., an antigenic determinant or epitope, on the
binding partner. In other words, the antibody preferentially binds
or recognizes the binding partner, even when the binding partner is
present in a mixture of other molecules or organisms. The binding
may be mediated by covalent or noncovalent interactions or a
combination of both. In yet other words, the term "specifically
binding" or "specifically recognizes" means that the antibody is
specifically immunoreactive with an antigenic determinant or
epitope and is not immunoreactive with other antigenic determinants
or epitopes. An antibody that (immuno)specifically binds to an
antigen may bind to other peptides or polypeptides with lower
affinity as determined by, e.g., radioimmunoassays (MA),
enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA), BIACORE, or other
assays known in the art. Antibodies or fragments thereof that
specifically bind to an antigen may be cross-reactive with related
antigens, carrying the same epitope. Preferably, antibodies or
fragments thereof that specifically bind to an antigen do not
cross-react with other antigens.
[0062] The term "epitope" as used herein means that part of the
antigen that is contacted by the CDR loops of antibody. A
"structural epitope" comprises about 15-22 contact residues on the
antigen surface and involves many amino acid residues that make
contact with a large group of residues on CDRs collectively
referred to as the paratope of antibody. Direct contact between
epitope and paratope residues is established through electrostatic
forces such as hydrogen bonds, salt bridges, van der Waals forces
of hydrophobic surfaces and shape complementarity. The interface
has also bound water molecules or other co-factors that contribute
to the specificity and affinity of antigen-antibody interactions.
The binding energy of an antigen-antibody complex is primarily
mediated by a small subset of contact residues in the
epitope-paratope interface. These "energetic residues" are often
located in the center of the epitope-paratope interface and make up
the functional epitope. Contact residues in the periphery of the
interface make generally minor contributions to the binding energy;
their replacements have frequently little effect on the binding
with antigen. Thus, the binding or functional activity of an
epitope involves a small subset of energetic residues centrally
located in the structural epitope and contacted by the
specificity-determining CDRs. The assignment of a functional
epitope on an antigenic protein can be made using several methods
including Alanine scan mutagenesis or by solving the crystal
structure of the antigen with the antibody.
[0063] An epitope can be linear in nature or can be a discontinuous
epitope, e.g., a conformational epitope, which is formed by a
spatial relationship between non-contiguous amino acids of an
antigen rather than a linear series of amino acids. A
conformational epitope includes epitopes resulting from folding of
an antigen, where amino acids from differing portions of the linear
sequence of the antigen come in close proximity in
three-dimensional space. For discontinuous epitopes, it may be
possible to obtain binding of one or more linear peptides with
decreased affinity to a so-called partial epitope, e.g., dispersed
at different regions of the protein sequence (M. S. Cragg, (2011)
Blood 118 (2):219-20).
[0064] As used herein, the term "affinity" refers to a measure of
the strength of the binding of an individual epitope or partial
epitope with the CDRs of a binding molecule, e.g., an
immunoglobulin molecule; see, e.g., Harlow et al., Antibodies: A
Laboratory Manual, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, 2nd ed.
(1988) at pages 27-28. As used herein, the term "avidity" refers to
the overall stability of the complex between a population of
immunoglobulins and an antigen, that is, the functional combining
strength of an immunoglobulin mixture with the antigen; see, e.g.,
Harlow at pages 29-34. Avidity is related to both the affinity of
individual immunoglobulin molecules in the population with specific
epitopes, and also the valences of the immunoglobulins and the
antigen. For example, the interaction between a bivalent monoclonal
antibody and an antigen with a highly repeating epitope structure,
such as a polymer, would be one of high avidity. The affinity or
avidity of an antibody for an antigen can be determined
experimentally using any suitable method; see, for example,
Berzofsky et al., "Antibody-Antigen Interactions" in Fundamental
Immunology, W. E. Paul, Ed., Raven Press New York, N.Y. (1984); J.
Kuby, Immunology, W.H. Freeman and Company New York, N.Y. (1992),
and methods described herein. General techniques for measuring the
affinity of an antibody for an antigen include ELISA, RIA, and
surface plasmon resonance. The measured affinity of a particular
antibody-antigen interaction can vary if measured under different
conditions, e.g., salt concentration, pH. Thus, measurements of
affinity and other antigen-binding parameters, e.g., KD, IC50, are
preferably made with standardized solutions of antibody and
antigen, and a standardized buffer.
[0065] Antibodies or antigen-binding fragments or variants thereof
of the disclosure may also be described or specified in terms of
their ability to specifically detect the presence of antigen. The
term "detect" or "detecting" is used in the broadest sense to
include quantitative, semi-quantitative or qualitative measurements
of a target molecule. In one aspect, antibodies described herein
may only determine the presence or absence of tau polypeptide in a
biological sample, e.g., by immunohistochemistry and, thus, the tau
polypeptide is detectable or, alternatively, undetectable in the
sample as determined by the method.
[0066] The term "phospho-specific antibody" or "phospho-dependent
antibody" herein used means a specific antibody in which at least
part or the entire epitope relies on a phosphorylated amino acid
residue. A phospho-specific or phospho-dependent antibody does not
detect un-phosphorylated antigen. The term "phospho-selective
antibody" means a specific antibody that preferentially binds to
the phosphorylated residue and has higher affinity to the
phosphorylated versus the non-phosphorylated antigen. The term
"non-phospho-selective antibody" or "phospho-independent" means a
specific antibody that preferentially binds to the
non-phosphorylated residue and has higher affinity to the
non-phosphorylated versus the phosphorylated antigen. In certain
embodiments, the anti-tau antibodies of the disclosure, or
antigen-binding fragments thereof, are phospho-dependent. In
certain other embodiments, the anti-tau antibodies of the
disclosure, or antigen-binding fragments thereof, are
phospho-independent.
[0067] The term "polynucleotide" is intended to encompass a
singular nucleic acid as well as plural nucleic acids, and refers
to an isolated nucleic acid molecule or construct, e.g., messenger
RNA (mRNA) or plasmid DNA (pDNA). A polynucleotide may comprise a
conventional phosphodiester bond or a non-conventional bond (e.g.,
an amide bond, such as found in peptide nucleic acids (PNA)). The
term "nucleic acid molecule" refers to any one or more nucleic acid
segments, e.g., DNA or RNA fragments, present in a polynucleotide.
By "isolated" nucleic acid or polynucleotide is intended a nucleic
acid molecule, DNA or RNA that has been removed from its native
environment. For example, a recombinant polynucleotide encoding an
antibody contained in a vector is considered isolated for the
purposes of this disclosure.
[0068] In certain embodiments, the polynucleotide or nucleic acid
is DNA. In the case of DNA, a polynucleotide comprising a nucleic
acid that encodes a polypeptide normally may include a promoter
and/or other transcription or translation control elements operably
associated with one or more coding regions. An operable association
is when a coding region for a gene product, e.g., a polypeptide, is
associated with one or more regulatory sequences in such a way as
to place expression of the gene product under the influence or
control of the regulatory sequence(s). Thus, a promoter region
would be operably associated with a nucleic acid encoding a
polypeptide if the promoter was capable of effecting transcription
of that nucleic acid. The promoter may be a cell-specific promoter
that directs substantial transcription of the DNA only in
predetermined cells. Other transcription control elements, besides
a promoter, for example, enhancers, operators, repressors, and
transcription termination signals, can be operably associated with
the polynucleotide to direct cell-specific transcription. Suitable
promoters and other transcription control regions are disclosed
herein.
[0069] As used herein, the terms "treat" or "treatment" refer to
both therapeutic treatment and prophylactic or preventative
measures, wherein the object is to prevent or slow down (lessen) an
undesired physiological change or disorder, such as the development
of Parkinsonism or Alzheimer's Disease. Beneficial or desired
clinical results include, but are not limited to, alleviation of
symptoms, diminishment of extent of disease, stabilized (i.e., not
worsening) state of disease, delay or slowing of disease
progression, amelioration or palliation of the disease state, and
remission (whether partial or total), whether detectable or
undetectable. "Treatment" can also mean prolonging survival as
compared to expected survival if not receiving treatment. Those in
need of treatment include those already with the condition or
disorder as well as those prone to have the condition or disorder
or those in which the manifestation of the condition or disorder is
to be prevented. A "medicament" as used herein, is an agent used in
the treatment of an undesirable physiological change or
disorder.
[0070] By "subject" or "individual" or "animal" or "patient" or
"mammal" is meant any subject, particularly a mammalian subject,
e.g., a human patient, for whom diagnosis, prognosis, prevention,
or therapy is desired.
DESCRIPTION
[0071] Tau is an abundant central and peripheral nervous system
protein having multiple well-known isoforms. In the human CNS, six
major tau isoforms ranging in size from 352 to 441 exist due to
alternative splicing (Hanger, et al., Trends Mol. Med. 15:112-9,
2009). These isoforms differ from each other by the regulated
inclusion of 0-2 N-terminal inserts, and 3 or 4 tandemly arranged
microtubule-binding repeats, and are referred to as ON3R (SEQ ID
NO:6), 1N3R (SEQ ID NO:4), 2N3R (SEQ ID NO:2), ON4R (SEQ ID NO:5),
1N4R (SEQ ID NO:3) and 2N4R (SEQ ID NO:1). The term "recombinant
tau" as used herein refers to the tau isoform of SEQ ID NO:1 that
is devoid of phosphorylation and other post-translational
modifications. The tau protein can be recombinantly expressed in
high quantities, for example, in E. coli, baculovirus, mammalian or
cell-free systems. "Recombinant tau" may be recombinantly expressed
and purified using standard methods. (Barghorn, et al. 2004, Meth.
Mol. Biol. 35-51).
[0072] Tau binds microtubules and regulates transport of cargo
through cells, a process that can be modulated by tau
phosphorylation that occurs at many of the 79 potential serine
(Ser) and threonine (Thr) phosphorylation sites. Tau is highly
phosphorylated during brain development. The degree of
phosphorylation declines in adulthood. Some of the phosphorylation
sites are located within the microtubule binding domains of tau,
and it has been shown that an increase of tau phosphorylation
negatively regulates the binding of microtubules. For example,
Ser262 and Ser396, which lie within or adjacent to microtubule
binding motifs, are hyperphosphorylated in the tau proteins of the
abnormal paired helical filaments (PHFs), a major component of the
neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) in the brain of AD patients. PHFs
are filamentous aggregates of tau proteins that are abnormally
hyperphosphorylated and can be stained with specific anti-tau
antibodies and detected by light microscopy. The same holds true
for so-called straight tau filaments. PHFs form twisted ribbons
consisting of two filaments twisted around one another with a
periodicity of about 80 nm.
[0073] These pathological features are commonly referred to as
"tau-pathology," "tauopathology" or "tau-related pathology." For a
more detailed description of neuropathological features of
tauopathies, refer to Le et al., Annu. Rev. Neurosci. 24 (2001),
1121-1159, and Gotz, Brain. Res. Rev. 35 (2001), 266-286, the
disclosure content of which is incorporated herein by reference.
Physiological tau protein stabilizes microtubules in neurons.
Pathological phosphorylation leads to abnormal tau localization and
aggregation, which causes destabilization of microtubules and
impaired cellular transport. Aggregated tau is neurotoxic in vitro
(Khlistunova et al., J. Biol. Chem. 281 (2006), 1205-1214). The
exact neurotoxic species remains unclear, however, as do the
mechanism(s) by which they lead to neuronal death. Aggregates of
tau can be observed as the main component of neurofibrillary
tangles (NFT) in many tauopathies, such as Alzheimer's disease
(AD), Frontotemporal dementias, supranuclear palsy, Pick's disease,
Argyrophilic grain disease (AGD), corticobasal degeneration,
FTDP-17, Parkinson's disease, Dementia pugilistica (reviewed in
Gendron and Petrucelli, Mol. Neurodegener. 4:13 (2009)). Besides
these observations, evidence emerges that tau-mediated neuronal
death can occur even in the absence of tangle formation. Soluble
phospho-tau species are present in CSF (Aluise et al., Biochim.
Biophys. Acta. 1782 (2008), 549-558). Tau aggregates can transmit a
misfolded state from the outside to the inside of a cell and
transfer between co-cultured cells (Frost et al., J. Biol. Chem.
284 (2009), 12845-12852).
[0074] In addition to the involvement in neurodegenerative
tauopathies, observed alterations in tau phosphorylation during and
after ischemia/reperfusion and after concussive head injury suggest
tau plays a crucial role in neuronal damage and clinical
pathophysiology of neurovascular disorders such as ischemic stroke
(Zheng et al., J. Cell. Biochem. 109 (2010), 26-29), as well as
changes in tau found in chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a
tauopathy in concussed athletes and military veterans with
Traumatic Brain Injury (BI).
[0075] This disclosure provides monoclonal antibodies, wherein the
antibodies bind tau deposits in human AD brain tissue.
[0076] In certain embodiments, the antibodies a) bind tau deposits
in human AD brain tissue and b) do not bind tau in normal brain
tissue.
[0077] In certain embodiments, the antibodies a) bind tau deposits
in human AD brain tissue, b) do not bind tau in normal human brain
tissue, and c) do not bind tau deposits in Progressive Supranuclear
Palsy (PSP) brain tissue.
[0078] In certain embodiments, the antibodies a) form an
immunological complex with tau deposits in human AD brain tissue
and b) do not form an immunological complex with tau in normal
human brain tissue.
[0079] In certain embodiments, the antibodies are chimeric
antibodies.
[0080] In certain embodiments, the antibodies are chimeric
antibodies comprising an antigen-binding variable region from a
human antibody that binds specifically to tau and a recombinant
constant region of a human IgG1, and wherein the chimeric
antibodies are different from the human antibody.
[0081] In certain embodiments, the antibodies are chimeric
antibodies comprising an antigen-binding variable region from a
human antibody that binds specifically to tau and a recombinant
constant region of a human IgG1, wherein the constant region of the
chimeric antibody differs from the constant region of the human
antibody.
[0082] In certain embodiments, the antibodies are chimeric
antibodies comprising a naturally occurring human antigen-binding
variable region that binds specifically to tau and a recombinant
constant region of a human IgG1 antibody.
[0083] In certain embodiments, the antibodies are chimeric
antibodies comprising naturally occurring human light and heavy
chain variable regions from a human antibody and recombinant human
IgG1 heavy and light chain constant regions.
[0084] In certain embodiments, the antibodies are chimeric
antibodies comprising heavy and light chain variable regions from a
naturally occurring human antibody and recombinant human IgG1 heavy
and light chain constant regions.
[0085] In certain embodiments, the antibodies are chimeric
antibodies comprising heavy and light chain variable regions from a
human antibody and recombinant human IgG1 heavy and light chain
constant regions.
[0086] In certain embodiments, the antibodies are not naturally
occurring.
[0087] The human anti-tau antibodies disclosed herein specifically
bind tau and epitopes thereof and to various conformations of tau
and epitopes thereof. For example, disclosed herein are antibodies
that specifically bind pathologically modified tau isoforms and tau
aggregates. In one example, a tau antibody disclosed herein binds
to tau or an epitope thereof and shows no binding above about three
times background for other proteins. An antibody that "specifically
binds" or "selectively binds" a tau conformer refers to an antibody
that does not bind all conformations of tau, i.e., does not bind at
least one other tau conformer such as recombinant tau.
[0088] The variable domains of the chimeric anti-tau monoclonal
antibodies of this disclosure may have origin from a pool of
healthy human subjects exhibiting a tau-specific immune response or
from subject affected with Alzheimer's Disease. The tau antibodies
of this disclosure may also be called "human-derived antibodies" in
order to emphasize that those antibody antigen-binding regions were
indeed expressed by the subjects and have not been isolated from,
for example, a human immunoglobulin-expressing phage library, which
hitherto represented one common method for trying to provide
human-like antibodies. For example, the antibodies of this
disclosure differ from mAb AT8, MCI, and AT100, in that they are
human-derived antibodies.
[0089] The anti-tau antibodies of this disclosure can be
characterized by their binding properties to recombinant tau in an
ELISA. Recombinant tau purified from E. coli is highly soluble
owing to its hydrophilic character. It lacks phosphorylation of
Ser, Thr and Tyr residues characteristic of tau found in
tauopathies. In one embodiment of the disclosure, the anti-tau
monoclonal antibodies disclosed herein do not specifically bind
recombinant tau in an ELISA. In another embodiment of the
disclosure, the anti-tau monoclonal antibodies bind to recombinant
tau in an ELISA.
[0090] In an embodiment, the anti-tau antibody of the disclosure
has been shown to specifically bind to a phosphorylated-tau peptide
of SEQ ID NO:315 or SEQ ID NO:365. In another embodiment, the
anti-tau antibody of the disclosure has been shown to bind to both
phosphorylated tau peptide of SEQ ID NO:317 and non-phosphorylated
peptide of tau SEQ ID NO:318 or phosphorylated peptide of SEQ ID
NO:329 and non-phosphorylated tau peptide of SEQ ID NO:367.
[0091] The anti-tau antibodies disclosed herein in certain
embodiments specifically bind tau peptide in a peptide ELISA. In
one embodiment, an anti-tau antibody binds to a tau peptide, e.g.,
GTPGSRSRTPSLPTPPTR (SEQ ID NO:318), corresponding to amino acids
204-221 of tau441. In another embodiment, an anti-tau antibody
binds to a tau peptide, e.g., GEPPK SGDRSGYS SP GSP GTP GSRSRTP SLP
TPPTREPKKVAVVRTPPK SP S SAKSRLQTAPVP MPDL (SEQ ID NO:367),
corresponding to amino acids 221-253 of tau441. The anti-tau
antibody of the disclosure is unlike previously disclosed human
anti-tau monoclonal antibodies (US 2013/0295021), which have been
reported to bind to different tau peptides. Monoclonal antibodies
NI-105.4E4, NI-105.4A3 and NI-105.4E4 bind to peptides
329-351+387-397, 337-343, and 35-49 of tau441, respectively.
[0092] Anti-tau antibodies of the disclosure can be characterized
by their binding properties to PHF-tau in an ELISA. Anti-PHF-tau
antibody clone AT8 binds to PHF-tau and has been used extensively
to detect PHF-tau in neurofibrillary tangles in samples from
Alzheimer's patients. AT8 is a phospho-specific monoclonal antibody
and binds to phosphorylated Ser202 and Thr 205 of PHF-tau and is
well-published for use in ELISA, immunohistochemistry, immunoblot,
Western blot, and related applications. Clone AT8 recognizes
Alzheimer Disease tau, as well as PHF-tau by ELISA and does not
bind non-phosphorylated-tau from healthy individuals or recombinant
tau. In one example, the anti-tau antibody of the disclosure does
not bind to PHF-tau by ELISA. In another example, the anti-tau
antibody of the disclosure binds to PHF-tau by ELISA.
[0093] Anti-tau antibodies of the disclosure can be characterized
by their binding properties to PHF-tau and recombinant tau by
Western blot. In neurodegenerative disorders, several mechanisms
(phosphorylation, ubiquitination, oxidation, glycation) are
involved in the aggregation of tau proteins into PHF. These
pathological tau proteins are visualized by Western blotting as
three major bands between 55 and 69 kDa, and a minor band at 74
kDa. Tau 55 results from the phosphorylation of the shortest
isoform (SEQ ID NO:6), tau 64 from the phosphorylation of tau
variants with one cassette exon (SEQ ID NO:4 and/or SEQ ID NO:5),
tau 69 from the phosphorylation of tau variants with two cassette
exons (SEQ ID NO:2 and/or SEQ ID NO:3). Phosphorylation of the
longest tau isoform (SEQ ID NO:1) induces the formation of the
additional hyperphosphorylated tau74 variant. In certain
embodiments, the anti-tau antibodies bind to PHF-tau by Western
analysis.
[0094] Anti-tau antibodies can be utilized in and characterized by
immunohistochemistry (IHC) of tissue sections from normal or AD
brain. Phospho-tau antibodies, in particular, highlight
neurofibrillary pathology with a high degree of sensitivity and
specificity, whereas, no detection of tau in normal healthy brain
is observed. Clinicopathological studies have demonstrated that
phospho-tau deposits or accumulations correspond more closely to
clinical signs compared to amyloid-f3 accumulations, and progress
in a stepwise fashion from transentorhinal, to limbic, to
isocortical areas, forming the basis for AD staging [R. J.
Castellani, et al., Acta Neuropathol. (Berl) 111:503(2006); H.
Braak and E. Braak, Acta Neuropathol. (Berl) 82:239 (1991 Tau
monoclonal antibodies that are commonly used in
immunohistochemistry include AT8 (p202/p205 tau), AT180 (p231 tau),
AT270 (p181 tau), AT100 (pT212 and S214), and MC-1, (M. Mercken et
al., 1992 Acta Neuropathol. 84:265-272; Zheng-Fischhofer 1998 Eur.
I Biochem. 252:542-552, M. Goedert et. al., 1994 Biochem.
1301:871-877). In one embodiment, the anti-tau monoclonal
antibodies of the disclosure detect tau in normal (i.e., healthy)
human brain tissue and detect tau deposits in human
[0095] AD brain tissue. In another example, the anti-tau antibodies
of the disclosure detect tau deposits in human AD brain but do not
detect tau in normal human brain.
[0096] Anti-tau antibodies of the disclosure can also be utilized
in and characterized by immunohistochemistry of additional
tauopathies, including Progressive Supranuclear Palsy, Pick's
Disease and others. The pathological filamentous-tau inclusions in
PSP are composed of aberrantly phosphorylated-tau proteins, but
there is a preferential accumulation of abnormal 4R tau isoforms. A
panel of anti-tau monoclonal antibodies, including Alz50, Tau-2,
T46, PHF-1, PHF-6, 12E8, PHF-1, RD4 and ATB, has been used to
characterize PSP deposits (J. Neuropathol. Exp. Neurol. 1998
(6):588-601). All of the monoclonal antibodies stained
intraneuronal and glial inclusions, however, 12E8 and PHF-6 stained
with less intensity. These antibodies detect different epitopes of
tau, e.g., phospho-specific, isoform-specific, and also detect tau
deposits in AD brain. RD3, an anti-tau monoclonal antibody that
specifically detects the 3-repeat tau isoform, shows limited IHC
detection of PSP, yet intensely stains tau deposits in human AD
brain tissue. The limited detection of PSP by this antibody is due
to reduced levels of the 3-repeat tau isoform in PSP (R. De Silva
et al., Neuropath. and Appl. Neurobio. (2003) 29(3)288-302). In one
embodiment, the anti-tau antibodies of the disclosure detect tau
deposits in human AD brain but do not detect tau in normal human
brain and do not detect tau deposits in human PSP brain.
[0097] In certain embodiments, the antibody comprises a heavy chain
comprising a) a heavy chain CDR1 region of SEQ ID NO:163, a heavy
chain CDR2 region of SEQ ID NO:164, and a heavy chain CDR3 region
of SEQ ID NO:165, b) a heavy chain CDR1 region of SEQ ID NO:169, a
heavy chain CDR2 region of SEQ ID NO:170, and a heavy chain CDR3

SEQ ID NO:181, a heavy chain CDR2 region of SEQ ID NO:182, and a
heavy chain CDR3 region of SEQ ID NO:183, e) a heavy chain CDR1

NO:186, and a heavy chain CDR3 region of SEQ ID NO:187, f a heavy

SEQ ID NO:191, and a heavy chain CDR3 region of SEQ ID NO:192, g) a
heavy chain CDR1 region of SEQ ID NO:196, a heavy chain CDR2 region
of SEQ ID NO:197, and a heavy chain CDR3 region of SEQ ID NO:198,
h) a heavy chain CDR1 region of SEQ ID NO:213, a heavy chain CDR2
region of SEQ ID NO:214, and a heavy chain CDR3 region of SEQ ID
NO:215, i) a heavy chain CDR1 region of SEQ ID NO:219, a heavy
chain CDR2 region of SEQ ID NO:220, and a heavy chain CDR3 region
of SEQ ID NO:221.
[0098] In certain embodiments, the antibody comprises a light chain
comprising: a) a light chain CDR1 region of SEQ ID NO:166, a light
chain CDR2 region of SEQ ID NO:167, and a light chain CDR3 region
of SEQ ID NO:168, b) a light chain CDR1 region of SEQ ID NO:172, a
light chain CDR2 region of SEQ ID NO:173, and a light chain CDR3
region of SEQ ID NO:174, c) a light chain CDR1 region of SEQ ID
NO:178, a light chain CDR2 region of SEQ ID NO:179, and a light

SEQ ID NO:194, and a light chain CDR3 region of SEQ ID NO:195, g) a
light chain CDR1 region of SEQ ID NO:199, a light chain CDR2 region
of SEQ ID NO:173, and a light chain CDR3 region of SEQ ID NO:200,
h) a light chain CDR1 region of SEQ ID NO:216, a light chain CDR2
region of SEQ ID NO:173, and a light chain CDR3 region of SEQ ID
NO:217, and i) a light chain CDR1 region of SEQ ID NO:218, a light
chain CDR2 region of SEQ ID NO:173, and a light chain CDR3 region
of SEQ ID NO:217.
[0099] In certain embodiments, the antibody is selected from the
group consisting of a) an antibody comprising a heavy chain CDR1
region of SEQ ID NO:163, a heavy chain CDR2 region of SEQ ID
NO:164, and a heavy chain CDR3 region of SEQ ID NO:165, a light

SEQ ID NO:167 and a light chain CDR3 region of SEQ ID NO:168; b) an

a heavy chain CDR1 region of SEQ ID NO:190, a heavy chain CDR2
region of SEQ ID NO:191, and a heavy chain CDR3 region of SEQ ID

of SEQ ID NO:199, a light chain CDR2 region of SEQ ID NO:173 and a

[0100] In certain embodiments, the antibody comprises a heavy chain
variable region selected from the group consisting of the amino
acid sequence of SEQ ID NOS:87, 91, 95, 99, 103, 107, 111, 123, 127
and 131. In certain embodiments, the antibody comprises a light
chain variable region selected from the group consisting of the
amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NOS:88, 92, 96, 100, 104, 108, 112,
124, 128, 132.
[0101] In certain embodiments, antigen-binding fragments of the
above-described antibodies are provided. The antigen-binding
fragments preferably bind to the same epitope. The anti-tau
monoclonal antibodies and antigen-binding fragments of the present
disclosure bind to different epitopes as compared to the epitopes
of known human anti-tau antibodies, such as, e.g., NI-105.4E4, and
NI-105.4A3. With "binding to a different epitope," it is meant that
the antibody binds to different critical amino acid residues as
compared to known antibodies.
[0102] In certain embodiments, the antibodies act synergistically
when used in combination with other antibodies binding to tau
protein. As used herein, the term "synergistic" means that the
combined effect of the antibodies or antigen-binding fragments when
used in combination is greater than their additive effects when
used individually. A way of calculating synergy is by means of the
combination index. The concept of the combination index (CI) has
been described by Chou and Talalay (Adv. Enzyme Regul. 22:27-55,
1984).
[0103] In certain embodiments, the antibodies and antigen-binding
fragments are for use as a medicament, and preferably for use in
the diagnostic, therapeutic and/or prophylactic treatment of
neurodegenerative diseases. Human anti-tau antibodies of the
disclosure or fragments thereof, including Fab, (Fab')2, scFv
fragments, or antibodies comprising antigen-binding sites of the
antibodies of the disclosure can be used to treat, reduce or
prevent symptoms in patients having a neurodegenerative disease
that involves accumulation of tau or pathological tau or tau
aggregation within the brain, such as patients suffering from AD,
as well as any other tauopathy or other tau-related pathologies in
which tau may be overexpressed. While not wishing to be bound by
any particular theory, the antibodies of the disclosure may exert
their beneficial effect by reducing or eliminating pathological tau
or tau aggregation and hence the amount of PHF-tau in the brain.
The antibodies of the disclosure may be used to treat an animal
patient belonging to any classification. Examples of such animals
include mammals such as humans, rodents, dogs, cats and farm
animals. For example, the antibodies of the disclosure are useful
in the preparation of a medicament for treatment of AD wherein the
medicament is prepared for administration in dosages defined
herein.
[0104] Another embodiment of the disclosure is a method of reducing
aggregation of tau in patients in need thereof comprising
administering to the patient a therapeutically effective amount of
the isolated antibody of the disclosure for a time sufficient to
reduce the aggregation of tau. Another embodiment of the disclosure
is a method of treating or reducing symptoms of a neurodegenerative
disease that involves aggregation of tau in a patient comprising
administering to the patient a therapeutically effective amount of
the isolated antibody of the disclosure for a time sufficient to
treat or reduce symptoms of the neurodegenerative disease. Another
embodiment of the disclosure is a method of reducing tau in
patients in need thereof comprising administering to the patient a
therapeutically effective amount of the isolated antibody of the
disclosure for a time sufficient to reduce tau.
[0105] In any of the embodiments above, the neurodegenerative
disease that involves aggregation of tau is a tauopathy. As used
herein, a "tauopathy" encompasses any neurodegenerative disease
that involves the pathological aggregation of tau within the brain.
In addition to familial and sporadic AD, other exemplary
tauopathies are frontotemporal dementia with Parkinsonism linked to
chromosome 17 (FTDP-17), progressive supranuclear palsy,
corticobasal degeneration, Pick's disease, progressive subcortical
gliosis, tangle only dementia, diffuse neurofibrillary tangles with
calcification, argyrophilic grain dementia, amyotrophic lateral
sclerosis, Parkinsonism-dementia complex, Down syndrome,
Gerstmann-Straussler Scheinker disease, Hallervorden-Spatz disease,
inclusion body myositis, Creutzfeld-Jakob disease, multiple system
atrophy, Niemann-Pick disease type C, prion protein cerebral
amyloid angiopathy, subacute sclerosing panencephalitis, myotonic
dystrophy, nonguanamian motor neuron disease with neurofibrillary
tangles, post-encephalitic Parkinsonism, and chronic traumatic
encephalopathy, such as dementia pugilistica (boxing disease)
(Morris, et al., Neuron. 70:410-26, 2011).
[0106] A tauopathy-related behavioral phenotype includes cognitive
impairments, early personality change and disinhibition, apathy,
abulia, mutism, apraxia, perseveration, stereotyped
movements/behaviors, hyperorality, disorganization, inability to
plan or organize sequential tasks, selfishness/callousness,
antisocial traits, a lack of empathy, halting, agrammatic speech
with frequent paraphasic errors but relatively preserved
comprehension, impaired comprehension and word-finding deficits,
slowly progressive gait instability, retropulsion, freezing,
frequent falls, non-levodopa responsive axial rigidity,
supranuclear gaze palsy, square wave jerks, slow vertical saccades,
pseudobulbar palsy, limb apraxia, dystonia, cortical sensory loss,
and tremor.
[0107] Patients amenable to treatment include asymptomatic
individuals at risk of AD or other tauopathy, as well as patients
presently showing symptoms. Patients amenable to treatment include
individuals who have a known genetic risk of AD, such as a family
history of AD or presence of genetic risk factors in the genome.
Exemplary risk factors are mutations in the amyloid precursor
protein (APP), especially at position 717 and positions 670 and 671
(Hardy and Swedish mutations, respectively). Other risk factors are
mutations in the presenilin genes, PS1 and PS2, and ApoE4, family
history of hypercholesterolemia or atherosclerosis. Individuals
presently suffering from AD can be recognized from characteristic
dementia by the presence of risk factors described above. In
addition, a number of diagnostic tests are available to identify
individuals who have AD. These include measurement of cerebrospinal
fluid tau and Ar342 levels. Elevated tau and decreased Af342 levels
signify the presence of AD. Individuals suffering from AD can also
be diagnosed by AD and Related Disorders Association criteria.
[0108] Another embodiment of the disclosure is a method of reducing
tau in patients in need thereof comprising administering to the
patient a therapeutically effective amount of the isolated anti-tau
antibody of the disclosure for a time sufficient to reduce tau.
Patients amenable to treatment may suffer from an ailment
associated with overexpression of tau. Some mutations, including
mutations in intron 10, induce increased levels of the functionally
normal four-repeat tau protein isoform, leading to
neurodegeneration. Overexpression of the four-repeat human tau
protein isoform specifically in neurons in a transgenic mouse led
to development of axonal degeneration in brain and spinal cord. In
the model, axonal dilations with accumulation ofneurofilaments,
mitochondria, and vesicles were documented. The axonopathy and the
accompanying dysfunctional sensorimotor capacities were
transgene-dosage related. These findings proved that merely
increasing the concentration of the four-repeat tau protein isoform
is sufficient to injure neurons in the central nervous system,
without formation of intraneuronal neurofibrillary tangles
(Spittaels, et al., Am. J. Pathology 155(6):2153-2165, 1999).
[0109] Administration/Pharmaceutical Compositions
[0110] Anti-tau antibodies of the disclosure are suitable, both as
therapeutic and prophylactic agents for treating or preventing
neurodegenerative diseases that involves accumulation of tau,
and/or pathological aggregation of tau, such as AD or other
tauopathies or tau-associated ailments. In asymptomatic patients,
treatment can begin at any age (e.g., at about 10, 15, 20, 25, 30
years). Usually, however, it is not necessary to begin treatment
until a patient reaches about 40, 50, 60, or 70 years. Treatment
typically entails multiple dosages over a period of time. Treatment
can be monitored by assaying antibody, or activated T-cell or
B-cell responses to the therapeutic agent over time. If the
response falls, a booster dosage is indicated.
[0111] In prophylactic applications, pharmaceutical compositions or
medicaments are administered to a patient susceptible to, or
otherwise at risk of, AD or other ailments involving tau, in an
amount sufficient to eliminate or reduce the risk, lessen the
severity, or delay the outset of the disease, including
biochemical, histologic and/or behavioral symptoms of a disease,
its complications and intermediate pathological phenotypes
presented during development of the disease. In therapeutic
applications, compositions or medicaments are administered to a
patient suspected of, or already suffering from, such a disease in
an amount sufficient to reduce, arrest, or delay any of the
symptoms of the disease (biochemical, histologic and/or
behavioral). Administration of a therapeutic may reduce or
eliminate mild cognitive impairment in patients that have not yet
developed characteristic Alzheimer's pathology. An amount adequate
to accomplish therapeutic or prophylactic treatment is defined as a
therapeutically or prophylactically effective dose. In both
prophylactic and therapeutic regimes, compositions or medicaments
are usually administered in several dosages until a sufficient
immune response has been achieved.
[0112] Anti-tau antibodies or fragments thereof of the disclosure
may be administered in combination with other agents that are
effective for treatment of related neurodegenerative diseases. In
the case of AD, antibodies of the disclosure may be administered in
combination with agents that reduce or prevent the deposition of
amyloid beta (A(3). It is possible that PHF-tau and AP pathologies
are synergistic. Therefore, combination therapy targeting the
clearance of both PHF-tau and AP-elated pathologies at the same
time may be more effective than targeting each individually.
[0113] In the case of Parkinson's Disease and related
neurodegenerative diseases, immune modulation to clear aggregated
forms of the a-synuclein protein is also an emerging therapy. A
combination therapy that targets the clearance of both tau and
a-synuclein proteins simultaneously may be more effective than
targeting either protein individually. In the methods of the
disclosure, the "therapeutically effective amount" of the antibody
in the treatment or ameliorating symptoms of a tauopathy can be
determined by standard research techniques. For example, the dosage
of the antibody can be determined by administering the agent to
relevant animal models well known in the art.
[0114] In addition, in vitro assays can be optionally employed to
help identify optimal dosage ranges. Selection of a particular
effective dose can be determined (e.g., via clinical trials) by
those skilled in the art based upon the consideration of several
factors. Such factors include the disease to be treated or
prevented, the symptoms involved, the patient's body mass, the
patient's immune status and other factors known by the skilled
artisan. The precise dose to be employed in the formulation will
also depend on the route of administration, and the severity of
disease, and should be decided according to the judgment of the
practitioner and each patient's circumstances. Effective doses can
be extrapolated from dose-response curves derived from in vitro or
animal model test systems. The mode of administration for
therapeutic use of the antibodies of the disclosure may be any
suitable route that delivers the agent to the host. Pharmaceutical
compositions of these antibodies are useful for parenteral
administration, e.g., intradermal, intramuscular, intraperitoneal,
intravenous, subcutaneous, intranasal or intracranial, or they can
be administered into the cerebrospinal fluid of the brain or
spine.
[0115] The antibodies of the disclosure may be prepared as
pharmaceutical compositions containing an effective amount of the
antibody as an active ingredient in a pharmaceutically acceptable
carrier. The term "carrier" refers to a diluent, adjuvant,
excipient, or vehicle with which the antibody is administered. Such
pharmaceutical vehicles can be liquids, such as water and oils,
including those of petroleum, animal, vegetable or synthetic
origin, such as peanut oil, soybean oil, mineral oil, sesame oil
and the like. For example, 0.4% saline and 0.3% glycine can be
used. These solutions are sterile and generally free of particulate
matter. They may be sterilized by conventional, well-known
sterilization techniques (e.g., filtration). The compositions may
contain pharmaceutically acceptable auxiliary substances as
required to approximate physiological conditions such as pH
adjusting and buffering agents, stabilizing, thickening,
lubricating and coloring agents, etc. The concentration of the
antibodies of the disclosure in such pharmaceutical formulation can
vary widely, i.e., from less than about 0.5%, usually at or at
least about 1% to as much as 15% or 20% by weight and will be
selected primarily based on required dose, fluid volumes,
viscosities, etc., according to the particular mode of
administration selected.
[0116] The treatment may be given in a single dose schedule, or as
a multiple dose schedule in which a primary course of treatment may
be with 1-10 separate doses, followed by other doses given at
subsequent time intervals required to maintain and or reinforce the
response, for example, at 1-4 months for a second dose, and if
needed, a subsequent dose(s) after several months. Examples of
suitable treatment schedules include: (i) 0, 1 month and 6 months,
(ii) 0, 7 days and 1 month, (iii) 0 and 1 month, (iv) 0 and 6
months, or other schedules sufficient to elicit the desired
responses expected to reduce disease symptoms, or reduce severity
of disease. Thus, a pharmaceutical composition of the disclosure
for intramuscular injection could be prepared to contain 1 ml
sterile buffered water, and between about 1 ng to about 100 mg,
about 50 ng to about 30 mg or about 5 mg to about 25 mg of an
antibody of the disclosure. Similarly, a pharmaceutical composition
of the disclosure for intravenous infusion could be made up to
contain about 250 ml of sterile Ringer's solution, and about 1 mg
to about 30 mg or about 5 mg to about 25 mg of an antibody of the
disclosure. Actual methods for preparing parenterally administrable
compositions are well known and are described in more detail in,
for example, Remington's Pharmaceutical Science, 15th ed., Mack
Publishing Company, Easton, Pa.
[0117] The antibodies of the disclosure can be lyophilized for
storage and reconstituted in a suitable carrier prior to use. This
technique has been shown to be effective with antibody and other
protein preparations and known lyophilization and reconstitution
techniques can be employed.
[0118] Diagnostic Methods and Kits
[0119] Antibodies of the disclosure may be used in methods of
diagnosing AD or other tauopathy in a subject. This method involves
detecting, in the subject, the presence of tau using a diagnostic
reagent such as an antibody or a fragment thereof of this
disclosure. Tau may be detected in a biological sample from a
subject (e.g., blood, urine, cerebral spinal fluid) by contacting
the biological sample with the diagnostic antibody reagent, and
detecting binding of the diagnostic antibody reagent to PHF-tau in
the sample from the subject. Assays for carrying out the detection
include well-known methods such as ELISA, immunohistochemistry,
Western blot, or in vivo imaging. Exemplary diagnostic antibodies
are antibodies CBTAU-7.1, CBTAU-8.1, CBTAU-16.1, CBTAU-18.1,
CBTAU-20.1, CBTAU-22.1, CBTAU-24.1, CBTAU-41.1, CBTAU-41.2, and
CBTAU-42.1 of the disclosure, and are of IgG1, K type.
[0120] Diagnostic antibodies or similar reagents can be
administered by intravenous injection into the body of the patient,
or directly into the brain by any suitable route that delivers the
agent to the host as exemplified above. The dosage of antibody
should be within the same ranges as for treatment methods.
Typically, the antibody is labeled, although in some methods, the
primary antibody with affinity for tau is not labeled and a
secondary labeling agent is used to bind to the primary antibody.
The choice of label depends on the means of detection. For example,
a fluorescent label is suitable for optical detection. Use of
paramagnetic labels is suitable for tomographic detection without
surgical intervention. Radioactive labels can also be detected
using PET or SPECT.
[0121] Diagnosis is performed by comparing the number, size, and/or
intensity of labeled tau, tau accumulation, tau aggregates, and/or
neurofibrillary tangles in a sample from the subject or in the
subject, to corresponding baseline values. The baseline values can
represent the mean levels in a population of non-diseased
individuals. Baseline values can also represent previous levels
determined in the same subject.
[0122] The diagnostic methods described above can also be used to
monitor a subject's response to therapy by detecting the presence
of tau in a subject before, during or after the treatment. A change
in values relative to baseline signals a response to treatment.
Values can also change temporarily in biological fluids as
pathological tau is being cleared from the brain.
[0123] The present disclosure is further directed to a kit for
performing the above-described diagnostic and monitoring methods.
Typically, such kits contain a diagnostic reagent such as the
antibodies of the disclosure and, optionally, a detectable label.
The diagnostic antibody itself may contain the detectable label
(e.g., fluorescent molecule, biotin, etc.), which is directly
detectable or detectable via a secondary reaction (e.g., reaction
with streptavidin). Alternatively, a second reagent containing the
detectable label may be utilized, where the second reagent has
binding specificity for the primary antibody. In a diagnostic kit
suitable for measuring tau in a biological sample, the antibodies
of the kit may be supplied pre-bound to a solid phase, such as to
the wells of a microtiter dish.

EXAMPLES
Example 1
[0125] Tau Peptide Design and Labeling
[0126] Hyperphosphorylation of tau protein resulting in release
from microtubules and leading to depolymerization is a pathological
hallmark occurring in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other related
tauopathies. As the equilibrium of free tau to microtubule-bound
tau shifts in favor of the former, unassociated tau protein is
thought to accumulate in a misfolded, aggregated state. During the
disease process, tau is thought to adopt a variety of
conformations, progressing from soluble dimeric and oligomeric
forms to higher-order insoluble aggregates such as paired helical
filaments (PHFs) and neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs). However, the
exact forms of tau that contribute to pathology and, hence, optimal
for therapeutic targeting, remain unknown. Consequently, attempts
to trget disease-promoting tau are often limited by the choice of
target. In an effort to prepare novel anti-tau binding molecules,
antibody variable regions to tau were recovered from human memory
B-cells using phosphorylated and non-phosphorylated-tau peptides as
bait antigens using a single-cell-based approach.
[0127] Human memory B-cells to tau are likely rare in the human
repertoire; therefore, it was decided to label the tau baits with
the brightest fluorophores. All tau peptides were synthesized with
an amino-terminal biotin group to aid labeling with two bright
fluorophores, streptavidin-APC or streptavidin-PE (aka, tau peptide
tetramers). Each tau peptide was labeled with both fluorophores to
increase the signal-to-noise during the screening of human memory
B-cells (detailed in Example 2) from donor samples. Labeled tau
peptide tetramers were prepared by mixing biotinylated peptide at a
35:1 molar ratio of peptide to streptavidin label overnight at
4.degree. C. with gentle mixing. Free peptide was removed by
separation over a BioSpin 30 column (Biorad). All tau peptide
tetramers were stored at 4.degree. C. for up to 2 months.
Example 2
[0128] Recovery of Anti-Tau-Specific Memory B-cells by Facs Sorting
With Labelled Peptide Tetramers
[0129] Monoclonal antibodies against tau were recovered from memory
B-cells (CD22+CD19+CD27+IgG+) isolated from peripheral blood
mononuclear cells (PBMCs) obtained from presumably asymptomatic
(non-AD) human blood donors obtained from San Diego Blood Bank and
TSRI Normal Blood Donor Services. In addition, AD patient blood
samples were obtained through the CRO, Quintiles, from which three
antibodies detailed here were recovered. PBMCs were isolated on
FICOLL-PAQUE PLUS.RTM. (GE Healthcare) and cryopreserved at 50
million cells per ml in 90% FBS and 10% DMSO. An aliquot of plasma
was heat inactivated at 56.degree. C. and stored at -20.degree. C.
for downstream assessment of plasma reactivity.
[0130] For each sorting experiment, PBMCs from three to four donors
were thawed and transferred to tubes containing pre-warmed RPMI
complete (RPMI, 10% heat inactivated FBS and 1%
penicillin/streptomycin), washed and incubated separately at
37.degree. C. for 16 hours. Pooled PBMCs were enriched for mature
B-cells by positive selection using CD22+magnetic beads (Miltenyi
Biotec). Cells were resuspended in Tris-buffered saline pH 7.4,
containing 2 mM EDTA and 0.25% bovine serum albumin Fraction V (TBS
Buffer). The cells were stained with the extracellular markers
IgG-FITC, CD19-PerCPCy5.5 and CD27-PECy7 (all from BD Biosciences)
to label B-cells. Ten million cells were removed and as a negative
control, biotin streptavidin-labeled conjugates were used. The
remaining cells were incubated with a pool of ten dual-labeled tau
peptide tetramers (SA-APC and SA-PE) at 16.8 nM each. Cells were
incubated for 60 minutes at 4.degree. C. with gentle mixing, washed
twice and re-suspended at 20 million cells per ml in TBS buffer.
Prior to sorting, DAPI (Thermo Fisher) was added as a live cell
marker and cells were sorted on a Beckman Coulter MoFlo XDP.
Negative control samples were used to determine nonspecific binding
and signal-to-noise ratio. CD19+, IgG+, CD27hi, and antigen
double-positive cells were collected and deposited into individual
wells of a 96-well PCR plate and stored at -80.degree. C.
Example 3
[0131] Recovery of Heavy and Light Chain Genes from Tau-Specific
Single B-Cells
[0132] As detailed in Example 2, memory B-cells with reactivity to
tau peptide tetramers were identified, isolated and sorted into
individual microtiter wells. Heavy and light chain cDNAs were then
recovered by a two-step PCR approach from individual B-cells, and
variable domain sequences were cloned and expressed in vitro as
full-length recombinant IgG1 antibodies and are thus human chimeric
antibodies.
[0133] First Strand cDNA Synthesis
[0134] First-strand complementary DNA (cDNA) was generated from
single sorted cells according to manufacturer's protocol
(Superscript III, Invitrogen Corp.) with the following
modifications: to each well containing a single B-cell, 0.5 .mu.l
of 10% NP-40, 1.0 .mu.l of oligo dT, 1.0 .mu.l of dNTP was added
and samples were incubated at 65.degree. C. for 5 minutes. After
incubation, samples were placed on ice for 1 minute. The following
was then added to each well: 2.0 .mu.l of DTI, 4.0 .mu.l of MgCl2,
1.0 .mu.l of SUPERSCRIPT.RTM. RT, and 0.5 .mu.l of RNaseOut.
Samples were incubated at 50.degree. C. for 50 minutes, followed by
incubation at 85.degree. C. for 5 minutes.
[0135] Step I Amplification
[0136] For the initial PCR (Step I), 2.5 .mu.l of cDNA preparation
was used as a template to amplify heavy and kappa or lambda light
chains. Primer pools specific to the leader regions of antibody
heavy (CB-5'LVH primers, Table 1), kappa light chain (CB-5'LVk
primers, Table 2), and lambda light chain (CB-5' LVlam primers,
Table 3) were used. A single reverse primer specific to the CH1
region, CK, and CL regions of the heavy, kappa light and lambda
light chains, respectively, were used in the Step I PCR
reaction.

[0137] Step II Amplification
[0138] For Step II, 2.5 .mu.l of Step I PCR product was used as a
template to amplify heavy, and kappa or lambda light chain variable
regions. A pool of forward and reverse primers specifically
designed to the framework 1 region of antibody heavy chain
(pCB-IgG-VH and 3'SalIJH primers, Table 4), kappa light chain
(pCB-IgG-VK and 3'Jk primers, Table 5), and lambda light chain
(CB-VL and 3'Clam-Step II primers, Table 6) were used to prepare
DNA from the variable regions. Furthermore, Step II primers were
designed to introduce XbaI (VK and VL forward primers) and XhoI
(3'SalIJH primers) restriction sites for downstream cloning.
Following the Step II amplification reactions, heavy and light
chain variable domain PCR products were run on a 1% agarose gel.
Heavy and light chain variable region fragments were purified
according to the manufacturer's protocol (Qiagen) and used in the
Step III PCR reaction.

[0139] Step III Amplification: Overlap Extension PCR
[0140] For Step III, the heavy and light chain variable region DNA
fragments produced in Step II were linked into a single cassette
via overlap extension PCR using 1) a kappa linker or lambda linker
(see linker preparation method below), which anneals to the 3' end
of the light chain Step II fragment and the 5' end of the heavy
chain Step II fragment, and contains either the kappa or lambda
constant region, 2) a forward overlap primer containing an XbaI
restriction site, and 3) a reverse primer containing an XhoI
restriction site. This reaction results in an approximate 2400 bp
or 2200 bp amplicon (i.e., cassette) for the kappa or lambda
chains, respectively, consisting of the light chain variable
region, linker, and heavy chain variable region. Following
amplification, the overlap extension PCR reaction product was
PCR-purified according to the manufacturer's instructions (Qiagen
PCR Purification Kit).
[0141] Linker Preparation
[0142] The linker fragment was amplified using pCB-IgG, a dual-CMV
promoter vector generated in house and used to express both heavy
and light chain genes, as template and the primers listed in Table
7. The linker fragment is 1765 or 1536 base pairs in length for
kappa or lambda linker, respectively. The kappa linker contains
from a 5' to 3' intron sequence followed by the kappa constant
region, poly(A) termination sequence, and cytomegalovirus promoter
sequence, allowing for one vector expression of the recombinant
antibodies. The lambda linker contains the lambda constant region,
poly(A) termination sequence, and cytomegalovirus promoter
sequence. A common reverse primer (Linker VH_HAVT20_pCB-IgG-R) and
kappa-specific forward primer (Linker_CK_intronpCB-IgG-F) were used
(Table 7). The amplified fragment was separated on a 1% agarose gel
and purified according to the manufacturer's protocol (Qiagen Gel
Extraction Kit).

[0143] Cloning into Mammalian Expression Vector
[0144] Following purification of the overlap extension PCR product,
the fragment was digested with XhoI and XbaI and subsequently
separated on a 1% agarose gel. The band corresponding to the
overlap cassette (.sup..about.2.4 kb) was purified and ligated into
an IgG1 expression vector, pCB-IgG. Antibody variable genes were
subcloned into this vector and antibodies were recombinantly
expressed as IgG1, regardless of their original (native) isotype.
(An example of an IgG1 heavy chain constant region amino acid
sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO:83 and light chain kappa constant
region amino acid sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO:84.) All
transformations were carried out using DH5a Max Efficiency cells
(Invitrogen Corp.) and recovered in 250 IA of SOC for 1 hour at
37.degree. C. Approximately 100 .mu.l of recovered cells were
plated onto a carbenicillin plate supplemented with 20 mM glucose.
Plates were incubated overnight at 37.degree. C. to allow for
colony growth. The remaining recovered cell mixture was cultured
with 4 ml of Super Broth (SB) media supplemented with 50 .mu.g/ml
carbenicillin and incubated overnight at 37.degree. C. with shaking
at 250 rpm. The following day, five colonies were picked per plate
and grown in 3 ml of SB media supplemented with 50 .mu.g/ml
carbenicillin overnight at 37.degree. C. Overnight cultures were
used for DNA plasmid preparation (Qiagen).

manufacturer's instructions (Invitrogen, Corp.). Transfections were
carried out for a minimum of 72 hours in 10 ml cultures to allow
for sufficient IgG expression. Cell media was harvested
post-transfection and centrifuged to remove the cells and debris.
Supernatants were quantified using Protein A sensor tips on an
Octet Red system (ForteBio). Each supernatant was subsequently
tested by ELISA with the bait peptide in order to confirm the
presence of anti-tau reactive antibodies. Plasmid MINIPREP.TM. DNA
(Qiagen) from the four individually picked cultures in Example 3
was prepared and heavy and light chains were sequenced with primers
pC9_seq_HC-R (5'CATGTCACCGGGGTGTGG 3') (SEQ ID NO:85) and
pC9_seq_LC-R (5'TCACAGGGGATGTTAGGGACA3') (SEQ ID NO:86). One clone
of the four was selected for subsequent experiments.

[0150] Nucleic acid sequences of heavy and light chain variable
regions of the anti-tau monoclonal antibodies were compared to
known germline sequences using IgBLAST, an immunoglobulin variable
domain sequence analysis tool, available at the NCBI (Nucleic Acids
Res. 2013 July; 41 (Web Server issue):W34-40). Sequence alignment
of heavy and light chain framework H1 and L1 regions, aligned with
their respective proposed germline sequence and PCR primer, are
shown in Table 9. Confirmed sequences were scaled up for expression
and purification (detailed in Example 5). Selected clones were
expanded into a 50 ml culture and plasmid midiprep DNA was prepared
(Machery Nagel Midi Prep kit). Plasmid DNA was then used to
transfect a 30 ml culture of 293Expi cells as detailed in Example
5.

[0151] Transfected IgG1 supernatants were assayed for reactivity to
tau peptides by ELISA. First, 96 half-well ELISA plates (Costar)
were coated with 50 IA of bovine actin (1 .mu.g/ml, Sigma) as a
negative control and Affinipure goat anti-human F(ab)2 (2 .mu.g/ml,
Jackson Immunoresearch) to confirm antibody production. Plates were
coated in TBS overnight at 4.degree. C. The following day, plates
were washed five times with TB S/0.05% TWEEN.RTM. (TBS-T) and
blocked with 150 IA of TBS-T plus 2.5% BSA (blocking buffer) for 2
hour. Tau peptides were captured on streptavidin-coated plates
(Pierce) at a concentration of 0.43 M in 100 .mu.l of TBS. Tau
peptides used to set up ELISA assays were the same used as baits in
corresponding sorting experiment. Tau peptide-coated plates were
then incubated at RT for 1.5 hours. All plates were then washed
five times with TBS/0.05% TWEEN.RTM. and blocked with 150 .mu.l and
300 .mu.l (tau peptide plates only) of blocking buffer and
incubated at RT for 2 hours. IgG transfection supernatants were
diluted to 5 .mu.g/ml (based on quantitation by Octet Red) and
titrated five-fold in TBS/0.25% BSA. Mouse anti-actin (Sigma, Cat.
No. A3853) was used at 1.25 .mu.g/ml as a positive control for
bovine actin-coated plates. Commercial grade antibodies were used
at 1 .mu.g/ml as positive controls for ELISA assays, including AT8
monoclonal antibody (Thermo, MN1020), AT100 monoclonal antibody
(Thermo, MN1060) and AT180 monoclonal antibody (Thermo, MN1040).
Primary antibodies were incubated for 2 hours at RT and washed five
times in TBS-T. Finally, goat-anti human IgG Fab or goat anti-mouse
HRP (Jackson Labs) was used at 1:2000 and 1:4000, respectively, and
incubated for 1 hour at RT. Plates were washed five times in TBS-T
and developed with SureBlue Reserve TMB Microwell Peroxidase
Substrate (KPL). The reaction was halted by the addition of 50
.mu.l and 100 .mu.l (peptide plates) of TMB Stop Solution (KPL) and
the absorbance at 450 nm was measured using an ELISA plate reader.
Supernatants with the aforementioned binding activities were
subsequently reconfirmed in an independent ELISA experiment. Once
reconfirmed, a clone was selected for downstream IgG expression and
purification (Example 5).
Example 5
[0152] IgG1 Expression and Purification of Cloned Anti-Tau Chimeric
mAbs
[0153] After ELISA screening and confirmation of antibody
reactivity, selected clones were expressed as IgG1 s as indicated
in Example 4. Cell culture media was harvested and centrifuged to
remove the cells after a minimum of 72 hours and up to a maximum of
168 hours. Clarified supernatants were subsequently passed twice
through a Protein A Sepharose column (GE Healthcare Life Sciences)
and washed with 50 ml of PBS. IgGs were subsequently eluted with 10
ml of IgG elution buffer (Pierce) and neutralized with Tris pH 8.0
and subsequently dialyzed overnight against PBS. Dialyzed samples
were concentrated using a 10,000 MWCO ultra-centrifugal unit
(Amicon) to a final volume of about 1 mL, and antibody
concentrations were determined with Protein A sensor tips using a
human IgG standard on the Octet Red384 (ForteBio). Purified
antibodies were further quality controlled by performing SDS-PAGE
under non-reducing and reducing conditions and by size exclusion
chromatography.
Example 6
[0154] IgG Binding
[0155] Reactivity to Tau Peptides
[0156] IgG1 s generated and quality controlled as described above
were tested by ELISA for their ability to bind to specified cognate
peptide(s), as well as non-cognate peptide (Table 10). 96-well
ELISA plates (Costar) or streptavidin-coated plates (Pierce) were
coated with antigen (bovine actin and affinipure goat anti-human
F(ab)2) or tau peptides, respectively, as detailed in Example 4.
Purified anti-tau IgGs were diluted to 5 .mu.g/ml in TBS containing
0.25% BSA, and titrated five-fold. Antibody controls and secondary
antibodies were used as detailed in Example 4. antibody reactivity
at 1 .mu.g/mL was determined by ELISA and scored as no binding (-),
weak (-/+), moderate (+), or strong (++). (-) for average of two
O.D. 450 nm readings <0.3; (-/+) for >0.5 and <1.0; (+)
for >1.0 and <1.5; (++) for >1.5.

[0157] Results are shown in FIGS. 1A-1T. The anti-tau mAbs
described herein can be classified into two main groups: those that
react only to phosphorylated peptides (phospho-dependent mAbs) and
those that react to both phosphorylated and non-phosphorylated
peptides (phospho-independent mAbs). Anti-tau mAbs CBTAU-7.1,
CBTAU-8.1, CBTAU-18.1, and CBTAU-22.1 were recovered from non-AD
individuals using the approach detailed in Example 3. These mAbs
are phospho-dependent and, as shown by ELISA (FIGS. 1A-1T), react
only with the phosphorylated peptide but not to either a
non-phosphorylated peptide spanning that region or a
non-phosphorylated version of the peptide. Anti-tau mAbs CBTAU-7.1
and CBTAU-8.1 react specifically to a phosphorylated peptide
containing the AT8-binding epitope. This peptide spans amino acids
194 to 212 and contains phosphorylated residues at positions 202
and 205. CBTAU-18.1 reacts to a phosphorylated peptide spanning
amino acids 200-217 with a phosphorylated serine residue at
position 210. Lastly, CBTAU-22.1 reacts to a peptide spanning amino
acids 406-429, with two phosphorylated serines at positions 416 and
422.
[0158] Similarly, CBTAU-20.1 was identified from a non-AD
individual and is predominately phospho-dependent as it reacts to
three different phosphorylated peptides spanning amino acids 59-77.
Two of these peptides are dually phosphorylated, one at positions
68 and 69, and the second at positions 69 and 71. CBTAU-20.1 also
reacts to a third peptide that is singly phosphorylated at position
71, suggesting that phosphorylation at threonine 71 is sufficient
and important for CBTAU-20.1 reactivity. CBTAU-20.1 shows weak
reactivity to a non-phosphorylated peptide spanning region
42-103.
[0159] Like the aforementioned mAbs, CBTAU-16.1 and CBTAU-24.1 were
also recovered from non-AD individuals; however, both mAbs are
phospho-independent and, as observed by ELISA, react to both a
phosphorylated and non-phosphorylated peptide spanning the
specified region. CBTAU-16.1 reacts to amino acid region 204-221,
whereas CABTAU-24.1 reacts to three different peptides spanning
amino acids 221-245. In addition, two additional anti-tau mAbs
[0160] (CBTAU-27.1 and CBTAU-28.1) were identified from screens
conducted with non-AD donor samples using 60-70 amino acid-length
non-phosphorylated peptides corresponding to amino acid regions
42-103 and 299-369, respectively; therefore, both mAbs are specific
to non-phosphorylated-tau.
[0161] Finally, CBTAU mAbs 41.1, 41.2, 42.1, 43.1, 44.1, 45.1,
46.1, 47.1, 47.2, and 49.1 were identified from a small study where
25 young non-AD (18-27 y.o.), 25 non-AD (55+y.o.), and 25 AD (55+
y.o.) individuals were screened. The peptide set that was used for
this study included eight phosphorylated peptides (including
CBTAU-22.1 cognate peptide) and two non-phosphorylated peptides
(CBTAU-27.1 and CBTAU-28.1 cognate peptides). CBTAU mAbs 41.1,
41.2, and 42.1 were recovered from AD donors and react with the
CBTAU-22.1 cognate peptide. Similar to CBTAU-22.1, these mAbs are
phospho-dependent as shown in FIGS. 1J-1L Two additional mAbs
(CBTAU-44.1 and CBTAU-45.1) were identified from non-AD (55+y.o.)
individuals with reactivity to the CBTAU-22.1 cognate peptide. As
expected, these two were also phospho-dependent (FIGS. 1N and 1O).
CBTAU-43.1 was also identified from screens conducted in non-AD
(55+y.o.) individuals; however, the mAb was recovered with the
CBTAU-27.1 cognate peptide and is specific to
non-phosphorylated-tau (FIG. 1M). Lastly, CBTAU-46.1, 47.1, 47.2,
and 49.1 were recovered from non-AD (18-27 y.o.) individuals with
reactivity to the CBTAU-28.1 peptide and, similar to CBTAU-28.1,
are specific to non-phosphorylated-tau (FIGS. 1P-1S).
Example 7
[0162] Reactivity to Paired Helical Filaments and Recombinant Tau
by ELISA
[0163] To further characterize the specificity of some of the
chimeric antibodies, their reactivity to recombinant tau, enriched
and immunopurified paired helical filaments was tested by
ELISA.
[0164] PHF-tau was immunopurified according to the protocol of
Greenberg and Davies. Briefly, cortical tissues corresponding to
Alzheimer's disease individuals were homogenized with 10 volumes of
cold buffer (10 mM Tris, pH 7.4, 1 mM EGTA, 0.8 M NaCL and 10%
sucrose) and centrifuged at 27,200.times.g for 20 minutes at
4.degree. C. N-lauroylsarcosine and 2-mercaptoethanol were added to
the supernatant to reach a final concentration of 1% (wt/vol) and
1% (vol/vol), respectively. The mixture was incubated at 37.degree.
C. for 2-2.5 hours with constant rocking, followed by
centrifugation at 108,000.times.g for 30 minutes at room
temperature. The pellet containing PHF-tau was washed three times
with PBS and dissolved in PBS without protein inhibitors and
further centrifuged at 12,000.times.g for 5 minutes. The recovered
supernatant containing enriched PHF-tau (ePHF-tau) was
immunoaffinity purified over an hTau10 affinity column and eluted
with 3M or 4 M KSCN overnight at 4.degree. C., followed by dialysis
against 1 L PBS at 4.degree. C. with three changes of buffer.
hTau10 is an antibody generated in house by immunizing with
recombinant tau. It binds to both recombinant and PHF-tau at an
amino-terminal epitope. The immunopurified PHF-tau (iPHF-tau) was
concentrated with a Sartorius centrifugal filtering device.
[0165] For the ELISA, half-area 96-well binding plates (Costar)
were coated with 50 .mu.l of antigen in TBS (2 .mu.g/ml recombinant
tau, 2 .mu.g/ml bovine action affinipure goat anti-human F(ab)2, 1
.mu.g/ml of affinity-purified paired helical filaments, and 1
.mu.g/ml of monoclonal anti-tau antibody, HT7 (Thermo Scientific,
MN1000). The next day, plates were washed with TBS-T and
subsequently blocked with 150 .mu.l of TBS plus 2.5% BSA for 2
hours at RT. Following blocking, ePHF-tau was captured for 2 hours
at RT on the anti-tau antibody-coated plate. Purified anti-tau IgGs
were diluted to 10 .mu.g/ml in TBS plus 0.25% BSA, and IgGs were
titrated five-fold at RT for 2 hours. AT8 (10 .mu.g/ml) was used as
a positive control for iPHF-tau and captured ePHF-tau. Plates were
washed five times with TBS-T and secondary antibodies, diluted in
TBS plus 0.25% BSA, were added and incubated at RT for 1 hour. Goat
Anti-Human IgG F(ab')2 (Jackson Labs) was used at a 1:2000 dilution
and goat anti-mouse HRP (Jackson Labs) was used at 1:4000 (used for
anti-actin control). Following incubation, plates were washed four
times in TBS-T and developed with SureBlue Reserve TMB Microwell
Peroxidase Substrate (KPL) for approximately 2 minutes. The
reaction was immediately halted by the addition of TMB Stop
Solution (KPL) and the absorbance at 450 nm was measured using an
ELISA plate reader.
[0166] Results are shown in FIGS. 2A-2J. As expected,
phospho-dependent mAbs CBTAU-7.1, CBTAU-8.1, and CBTAU-18.1 do not
react to recombinant tau by ELISA (FIGS. 2A, 2B, and 2D).
CBTAU-20.1 shows minor reactivity to recombinant tau consistent
with its weak reactivity to a non-phosphorylated peptide spanning
region 42-103. Interestingly, these phospho-dependent mAbs do not
show any reactivity to paired helical filaments (i.e., ePHF-tau and
iPHF-tau) with the exception of CBTAU-7.1, which shows minor
reactivity to ePHF-tau at higher antibody concentrations. Lastly,
phospho-dependent CBTAU-22.1 shows no reactivity to recombinant
tau, but does react to both iPHF-tau and ePHF-tau (FIG. 2F).
[0167] Phospho-independent anti-tau mAbs, CBTAU-16.1 and CBTAU-24.1
react to both recombinant tau and both formats of paired helical
filaments (i.e., iPHF-tau and ePHF-tau; FIGS. 2C and 2G).
CBTAU-28.1 shows strong binding to recombinant tau, with weak
immunoreactivity to both PHF-tau formats (FIG. 2I). Finally,
CBTAU-27.1 shows weak immunoreactivity to both recombinant tau and
PHF-tau (FIG. 1H).
Example 8
[0168] Reactivity to Paired Helical Filaments and Recombinant Tau
by Western Blot Analysis
[0169] To extend the observations of the rTau- and PHF-binding
ELISAs and to examine if secondary structure plays a role in
reactivity, recombinant tau, enriched and immunopurified paired
helical filaments were tested by Western blot analysis.
Approximately 0.5 .mu.g of iPHF, ePHF, and 1 .mu.g of rTau at a
final concentration of 1.times. NuPAGE.RTM. LDS Sample buffer (0.5%
LDS final) (Novex, NP0007) was heated at 70.degree. C. for 10
minutes. Samples were loaded onto a 26-well, 4-12% Bis-Tris
NOVEX.RTM. NuPAGE.RTM. gel (Invitrogen) with MOPS SDS running
buffer (Novagen, NP0001), and subsequently transferred onto a
nitrocellulose membrane. Membrane was blocked overnight in 1.times.
Tris Buffered Saline (TBS) with 0.05% TWEEN.RTM.-20 and 4% non-fat
dry milk. CBTAU mAbs were used as primary at 25 .mu.g/mL in
1.times.TBS with 0.05% TWEEN.RTM.-20 and 4% non-fat dry milk and
incubated for 2 hours at room temperature. The membrane was then
washed three times for 5 minutes each in 1.times.TBS with 0.05%
TWEEN.RTM.-20. Peroxidase AffiniPure goat anti-human IgG, Fcy
fragment specific (Jackson ImmunoResearch) was then used as
secondary at a 1:2000 dilution in 1.times.TBS with 0.05%
TWEEN.RTM.-20 and 4% non-fat dry milk and incubated for 45 minutes
at RT. The membrane was washed three times for 5 minutes each and
developed using the SUPERSIGNAL.RTM. West Pico kit (Pierce).
[0170] The results for the Western blot analysis are shown in FIG.
3. FIG. 3 shows reactivity of three control antibodies, AT8, AT100,
and HT7 (two phospho-tau-specific and total tau-specific,
respectively). Both AT8 and AT100 show the triple bands
characteristic of PHF-tau, which correspond to approximately 68,
64, and 60 kDa. Contrary to the ELISA results, phospho-dependent
mAbs, CBTAU-7.1 and CBTAU-18.1 react to both iPHF-tau and ePHF-tau
by Western blot, suggesting that the epitopes for these mAbs are
not accessible when tau adopts higher order conformations present
in PHF-tau. However, these epitopes become accessible under the
strong denaturing conditions of SDS-PAGE. CBTAU-27.1 shows binding
to recombinant tau and PHF by Western blot yet weak reactivity to
each by ELISA, suggesting that the epitope for this antibody is
only exposed under strong denaturing conditions. CBTAU-28.1 reacts
strongly to recombinant tau by both Western blot and ELISA, and
also shows reactivity to PHF-tau by both assays. CBTAU-28.1 reacts
to the E1/E2 region of tau (amino acids 42-103), which is not
present in all tau isoforms;
[0171] therefore, only the 68 and 64 kDa bands on PHF-tau are
detected by CBTAU-28.1. Finally, CBTAU-22.1 and CBTAU-24.1 show
similar results to the ELISA assay, reacting to either PHF-tau but
not recombinant tau and to both PHF-tau and recombinant tau,
respectively.
Example 9
[0172] Reactivity to Tau Fragment Peptides by ELISA
[0173] To characterize the specificity of the recovered antibodies,
their reactivity to tau phosphorylated and non-phosphorylated
peptides (Tables 11-21, FIGS. 4A-4G) was tested by ELISA.
Biotinylated tau peptides were synthesized commercially and
dissolved in water at 1 mg/ml and frozen at -80.degree. C. Briefly,
96-well streptavidin-binding plates (Thermo-Fisher) were coated
with 2 .mu.g/ml of tau peptides diluted in TBS and incubated
overnight at 4.degree. C. The following day, plates were washed
with TBS-T and subsequently blocked with 2.5% BSA in TBS for 2
hours at RT. Following blocking, purified anti-tau IgGs were
diluted to 2 .mu.g/ml (or to 5 .mu.g/ml and titrated five-fold for
finer mapping of CBTAU-27.1, 28.1, 43.1, 46.1, 47.1, 47.2, and 49.1
using peptide sequences in Tables 15-20) in TBS plus 0.25% BSA and
incubated at RT for 2 hours. The human-chimerized version of AT8
IgG (at 2 .mu.g/ml) described in Example 11 was used as a positive
control in each of the mapping experiments. Plates were washed five
times with TBS-T followed by the addition of secondary antibody
[goat Anti-Human IgG F(ab')2 (ackson Labs) at 1:2000 dilution],
diluted in TBS plus 0.25% BSA, and incubated at RT for 1 hour.
Following incubation, plates were washed four times in TBS-T and
developed with SureBlue Reserve TMB Microwell Peroxidase Substrate
(KPL) for approximately 90 seconds. The reaction was immediately
halted by the addition of TMB Stop Solution (KPL) and the
absorbance at 450 nm was measured using an ELISA plate reader. Each
experiment was conducted in triplicate across three different days.
Reactivity was considered positive when values were equal to or
higher than an OD of 0.4 in the ELISA assay. For determining the
reactivity of each mAb to tau-phosphorylated and non-phosphorylated
peptides, antibody reactivity at 2 .mu.g/mL was determined by ELISA
and scored as no binding (-), weak (-/+), moderate (+), or strong
(++). (-) for average of two O.D. 450 nm readings <0.3; (-/+)
for >0.5 and <1.0; (+) for >1.0 and <1.5; (++) for
>1.5. For finer mapping of CBTAU-27.1, 28.1, 43.1, 46.1, 47.1,
47.2, and 49.1 (detailed on Tables 15-20), antibody reactivity at 1
.mu.g/mL was determined by ELISA and scored as no binding (-), weak
(-/+), moderate (+), or strong (++). (-) for average of three O.D.
450 nm readings <0.3; (-/+) for >0.5 and <1.0; (+) for
>1.0 and <1.5; (++) for >1.5.

[0174] Although CBTAU-7.1 was recovered using a peptide that
contains the AT8 epitope (Table 21; 192-212; pS202, pT205), the
phospho-residues contributing to binding for CBTAU-7.1 appeared to
be promiscuous involving positions S202+T205, but also combinations
of S198+S202, S198+T205, S199+T205 and possibly Y197+T205.
Unphosphorylated peptides showed no reactivity to CBTAU-7.1. For
CBTAU-18.1, the minimal epitope was found to consist of amino acids
198-217 and dependent on pS210 but not when T212, S214 or T217 were
also phosphorylated. CBTAU-22.1 reactivity was found to be
dependent on pS422, while antibody CBTAU-24.1 revealed strong
binding to its corresponding unphosphorylated peptide and, thus,
unaffected by phosphorylation.
[0175] CBTAU-27.1 and CBTAU-43.1 were recovered using an
unphosphorylated peptide spanning amino acids 299-369.
Interestingly, overlapping peptides within this region revealed
similar binding requirements for both mAbs (i.e., CBTAU-27.1 and
CBTAU-43.1 reacted to peptides spanning amino acids 299-318 and
309-328, respectively), suggesting that the epitope for both mAbs
is within regions 299-328 on tau441 (FIGS. 4A and 4C).
[0176] CBTAU-28.1, 46.1, 47.1, 47.2, and 49.1 were recovered from
human donor samples using a peptide spanning regions 42-103 on
tau441. Testing the reactivity of each mAb against a smaller
overlapping set of peptides showed similar binding for CBTAU-47.1,
47.2, and 49.1 as CBTAU-28.1 (i.e., reactivity to a peptide
spanning regions 52-71), suggesting comparable binding
requirements; however, CBTAU-46.1 bound to a region C-terminal to
the aforementioned mAbs (i.e., 82-1031; FIGS. 4B and 4D-4G).
Example 10
[0177] Alanine Scanning of Peptide Epitopes
[0178] To further characterize the specificity and amino acid
contribution to binding of each of the recover mAbs, their
reactivity to tau peptides with each position replaced with Alanine
was tested by ELISA. All experimental protocols were identical to
Example 9. Antibody reactivity at 1 .mu.g/mL was determined by
ELISA and scored as no binding (-), weak (-/+), moderate (+), or
strong (++). (-) for average of two O.D. 450 nm readings <0.3;

[0179] Although CBTAU-7.1 and CBTAU-8.1 were recovered using a tau
phosphopeptide containing the AT8 epitope (i.e., pS202, pT205),
both mAbs exhibited different epitope requirements according to the
alanine scan results (Table 22). In addition to S202 and T205,
substitutions at positions G204 and P206 resulted in reduced
binding for CBTAU-7.1. In contrast, alanine substitutions at
positions G204, T205, P206, and R209 reduced the reactivity of
CBTAU-8.1 to the peptide, yet the S202A substitution had no effect.
Like AT8, both mAbs are phospho-dependent, but require additional
(non-phosphorylated residues) for binding. The alanine scan results
for CBTAU-22.1 showed a dependency on phosphorylation at S422
(Table 23), as substitution at this position completed inhibited
binding. Substitution at D421 resulted in a reduction but not a
complete inhibition in binding. Finally, alanine scan results for
CBTAU-24.1 showed P236 to be the only critical residue for binding
(Table 24).
[0180] To map the critical contact residues for CBTAU-27.1 and
43.1, alanine scanning was also conducted within regions 299-323 of
tau (Table 25 and Table 27, respectively). The critical contact
residues for CBTAU-27.1 binding were shown to be D314, L315, and
K317. The results suggest that residues D314 and K317 may form salt
bridge interactions between the epitope and CDR residues on the
mAb. While CBTAU-43.1 was recovered using the cognate peptide for
CBAU-27.1, the critical residues according to the alanine scan were
different. In addition to L315 and K317, the proline at position
312 was shown to be an important contact for CBTAU-43.1 binding.
Lastly, alanine scanning was also conducted for CBTAU-28.1 as well
as to CBTAU-47.1, 47.1, and 49.1 (Tables 26, 28, 29). As shown in
Example 9, CBTAU mAbs 47.1, 47.2, 49.1 mapped to the same peptide
region as CBTAU-28.1 (i.e., 52-71). Interestingly, all mAbs shared
identical binding requirements as to CBTAU-28.1. The critical
contact residues were shown to be P59, S61, E62, T63, D65, and K67.
Several of these residues were found to be charged, implicating
important salt bridge interactions between the epitope and the
mAbs.
Example 11
[0181] Immunohistochemistry
[0182] Tau pathology is believed to initiate within the entorhinal
cortex (EC) and spread along connected neuronal pathways in the
hippocampus before progressing into the cortex. To determine the
reactivity of the recovered IgGs to pathogenic deposits of tau
along these neuronal pathways, hippocampal tissues were obtained
from an 82-year-old, non-diseased (non-AD; Abcam, Cat No. ab4305)
male and an 88-year-old Alzheimer's disease (AD; Abcam, Cat. No.
ab4583) male (Abcam). Cortical tissues were obtained from a
71-year-old non-diseased (non-AD) and 71-year-old Alzheimer's
disease (AD) individual (Banner Sun Health). In addition to AD,
there are many neurological disorders that are characterized by tau
pathology, also known as tauopathies. To extend the findings, the
recovered mAbs were tested in tissues obtained from progressive
supranuclear palsy (PSP) and non-progressive supranuclear palsy
(non-PSP) frontal lobes obtained from a 73-year-old male and an
81-year-old female, respectively (Biochain). Brain tissues were
de-paraffinized and rehydrated by washing twice for 10 minutes in
xylene (VWR International), followed by washing twice for 3 minutes
in 100% ethanol, twice for 3 minutes in 95% ethanol, twice for 3
minutes in 70% ethanol, and once for 30 seconds in distilled H2O
using TISSUE-TEK.RTM. Slide Staining Set (VWR Intemational). Tissue
sections underwent heat-mediated antigen retrieval using citrate
buffer (10 mM citric acid, pH 6.0) to expose antigenic sites.
Sections were then incubated with blocking buffer [10% normal goat
serum (Jackson ImmunoResearch, Inc.), 1% BSA and 0.3% TRITON.RTM.
X-100 in PBS)] at RT for 1 hour. Excess water was removed and
tissue sections were circled with an ImmEdge Hydrophobic Barrier
Pen (Vector Labs). A humidified chamber was prepared by covering
the bottom of a staining tray with H2O, and sections were then
washed with PBS three times for 5 minutes by aspiration. Endogenous
peroxidase activity was quenched in 10% H2O2 for 30 minutes at RT.
Following quenching, slides were washed with PBS three times for 5
minutes by aspiration. Slides were then blocked for 1 hour at RT
with a solution of 10% normal goat serum, 0.3% TRITON.RTM. X-100,
1% BSA in 1.times.PBS. Primary antibodies were labeled with biotin
using the Zenon Human IgG Labeling Kit (Life Technologies) per
manufacturer's instructions. As a negative control, a human
anti-RSV-specific antibody was used. An Fc-region human-chimerized
version of AT8 IgG was used as a positive control. After labeling,
primary antibodies were diluted separately in blocking buffer at
concentrations of 5 .mu.g/ml and 20 .mu.g/ml. For peptide
competition experiments, 13.3 .mu.M of cognate peptide (i.e.,
peptide used to recover the mAb in sorting experiments) was
pre-incubated with the primary antibody for 30 minutes at RT prior
to incubation with tissue sections. Tissue sections were incubated
at RT for two hours with 100 .mu.l of diluted biotin-labeled
primary antibody or peptide competed antibody. After antibody was
removed by aspiration, a second fixation of the tissue section was
performed in 4% formaldehyde in PBS and incubated for 15 minutes at
RT. The section was washed with PBS three times for 5 minutes by
aspiration. Sections were then incubated for 30 minutes with
streptavidin substrate VECTASTAIN.RTM. ABC Reagent (Vector Labs)
before washing with PBS. Tissues were then developed with DAB
substrate (Vector Labs) in the presence of nickel. Sections were
then washed two times with ddH2O and allowed to completely dry at
RT before mounting with 50 .mu.l of VectaMount Permanent Mounting
Medium (Vector Labs). Finally, tissue sections were counterstained
with hematoxylin (Vector Labs). Representative images were acquired
with Olympus BX-41 upright microscope using METAMORPH.RTM.
software.
[0183] Results from the immunohistochemistry are shown in FIGS.
5A-5D. CBTAU-7.1 and CBTAU-8.1 showed positive immunoreactivity on
AD brain tissues specifically, and not to healthy brain tissues,
which suggests binding to pathogenic tau deposits present in
diseased brain tissues. These antibodies recognize AT8-positive tau
tangles and neutrophil threads in subregions of the hippocampus
(FIG. 5A; entorhinal cortex) and cerebral cortex (FIG. 5B).
Furthermore, the positive immunoreactivity was consistently found
across multiple experiments in the neuronal cytoplasm and
processes. In addition, CBTAU-18.1, 22.1, and 24.1 were also tested
against hippocampal and cortical tissue sections (FIGS. 5A and 5B).
Similar to CBTAU-7.1 and CBTAU-8.1, all mAbs reacted specifically
to tau on AD tissue sections but not to tau on non-AD tissue
sections. Of interest, CBTAU-24.1, which is not specific to
phosphorylated tau, reacts specifically to diseased tau on AD
tissue sections but not to tau on non-AD sections. Finally,
CBTAU-16.1 and CBTAU-20.1 show reactivity to tau on both non-AD and
AD tissue sections.
[0184] In addition, CBTAU-7.1, 8.1, 16.1, 18.1, 20.1, 22.1, and
24.1 were tested on cortical tissue sections corresponding to
progressive supranuclear palsy (FIG. 5C). Unlike AT8, CBTAU-7.1 and
CBTAU-8.1 failed to detect tau tangles in the human PSP brain,
suggesting that the epitope for both mAbs is not present on PSP.
CBTAU-16.1 and CBTAU-20.1 showed positive immunoreactivity to tau
on non-PSP and PSP cortical brain sections, suggesting binding to
both normal tau and pathogenic forms of tau. In non-AD brain
sections, these antibodies showed positive immunostaining of tau in
neuronal cytoplasm and processes (FIGS. 5A and 5B), yet both mAbs
detected tangles and neutrophil threads in AD brain sections
similar to AT8. Similar immunoreactivity as AT8 to tau tangles was
also detected in PSP brain tissue sections, suggesting that both
CBTAU-16.1 and CBTAU-20.1 recognize common pathogenic tau forms in
other non-AD tauopathies. Furthermore, CBTAU-22.1 and CBTAU-24.1
showed immunoreactivity exclusively in AD brain tissues, with
positive immunoreactivity to tangles and neutrophil threads.
CBTAU-18.1 showed weak immunoreactivity in non-AD brain tissues,
yet reacted stronger to AD tissue samples. CBTAU-18.1, CBTAU-22.1
and CBTAU-24.1 were also positive for tau tangles in PSP brain
tissue sections (FIG. 5C).
[0185] CBTAU-27.1 and CBTAU-28.1 showed selective immunostaining in
non-AD tissue sections with diffuse immunostaining in neuronal
cytoplasm and processes. Interestingly, both antibodies failed to
show immunoreactivity in AD tissue sections (both hippocampal and
cortical), defining a novel epitope that is lost during disease
progression. Unlike the majority of the human anti-tau mAbs that
were identified, CBTAU-27.1 and CBTAU-28.1 were recovered by
screening donor samples using an unphosphorylated peptide set
spanning the entire region of human tau441. These antibodies do not
require phosphorylation for binding (FIGS. 1A-1T) and, as shown in
FIGS. 2A-2J, do not react to PHF by ELISA. Therefore, the diffuse
immunostaining pattern observed for these two mAbs was expected. In
addition, CBTAU-43.1, which was originally recovered using the
CBTAU-27.1 cognate peptide, was tested against cortical tissue
sections. CBTAU-43.1 reacted similar to CBTAU-27.1, staining tau on
non-AD but not tau on AD tissue sections. Likewise, CBTAU-46.1,
47.2 (only one variant tested), and 49.1, which were recovered
using the CBTAU-28.1 cognate peptide, reacted specifically to tau
on non-AD but not AD tissue sections (FIG. 5D). It is interesting
to note that these mAbs all share common heavy and light chain
germlines (i.e., VH5-51 and VK4-1), bind to the same regions on tau
and, as shown in FIG. 5D, share similar immunohistochemical
properties.
[0186] The immunohistochemistry results presented here for
CBTAU-7.1, 8.1, 18.1, 22.1, 24.1, 27.1, and 28.1 have been
confirmed on multiple regions of the brain and tissue samples
corresponding to several non-AD and AD individuals.
Immunoreactivity of CBTAU mAbs 43.1, 46.1, 47.2, and 49.1 has been
confirmed once using the same tissue sample and has not yet been
confirmed on samples corresponding to other AD and non-AD
individuals.
Example 12
[0187] Dephosphorylation IHC
[0188] Given that the results of the IHC for CBTAU-28.1 showed
immunoreactivity to tau on non-AD tissue sections but not to tau on
AD tissue sections, it was hypothesized that the loss of this
epitope during disease progression was a result of modification(s)
(i.e., phosphorylation). To test this hypothesis, human brain
tissue sections were dephosphorylated prior to assessing
immunoreactivity of CBTAU-28.1. Paraffin-embedded human brain
tissue sections (Abcam, cat #:ab4305, 54-year-old male, no clinical
symptom vs. Abcam, cat #:ab4583, 93-year-old Hispanic female,
Alzheimer disease) were deparaffinized and rehydrated by washing
twice for 10 minutes in xylene (VWR International), followed by
washing twice for 3 minutes in 100% ethanol, twice for 3 minutes in
95% ethanol, twice for 3 minutes in 70% ethanol, and once for 30
seconds in distilled H2O using TISSUE-TEK.RTM. Slide Staining Set
(VWR International). To minimize non-specific antibody binding,
tissues were never allowed to dry during washes. Tissue sections
underwent heat-mediated antigen retrieval using citrate buffer
{citric acid, pH 6.0) to expose antigenic sites. Excess water was
removed and tissue sections were circled with an ImmEdge
Hydrophobic Barrier Pen (Vector Labs). A humidified chamber was
prepared by covering the bottom of a staining tray with H2O, and
sections were then washed with PBS three times for 5 minutes by
aspiration. Endogenous peroxidase activity was quenched in H2O2 for
15 minutes at RT. Following quenching, slides were washed with PBS
three times for 5 minutes by aspiration. Sections were subsequently
treated with 130 units/mL of calf intestinal alkaline phosphatase
(CIAP) for 2.5 hours at 32 degrees. Slides were then blocked for 1
hour at RT with a solution of 10% normal goat serum, 0.3%
TRITON.RTM. X-100, 1% BSA in 1.times.PBS. Murinized CBTAU-28.1 (Fc
region murinized), and control mAbs AT8 and isotype control
(anti-RSV mAb 4.1) were incubated overnight on hippocampal sections
at a final concentration of 1 .mu.g/mL Sections were washed and
incubated with anti-mouse, Fcy fragment-specific antibody for 2
hours at room temperature. Samples were developed with peroxidase
substrate solution DAB in the presence of Nickel. Samples were
counterstained with hematoxylin (Vector Labs). Representative
images were acquired with Olympus BX-41 upright microscope using
METAMORPH.RTM. software.
[0189] Results are shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B. As expected,
CBTAU-28.1 reacts to tau present in the non-AD hippocampal tissue
sections but does not react to tau in the AD tissue sections. In
contrast, control mAb, AT8, does not react to tau in non-AD
sections, but clearly reacts to pathogenic tau deposits present in
the AD sections (FIG. 6A). However, pretreatment of AD tissue
sections with phosphatase restores reactivity of CBTAU-28.1,
allowing it to stain pathogenic tau deposits present in these
sections. As expected, the reactivity of AT8 was reduced with
pretreatment of the AD tissue sections with phosphatase (FIG.
6B).
Example 13
[0190] Dephosphorylation ELISA
[0191] To confirm the results of Example 12, dephosphorylation of
paired helical filaments was tested for reactivity to CBTAU-28.1 by
ELISA. Half-area 96-well binding plates (Costar) were coated with
50 .mu.l of antigen in TBS (2 .mu.g/ml bovine action affinipure
goat anti-human F(ab)2, and 1 .mu.g/ml of affinity-purified paired
helical filaments, iPHF, pretreated with and without calf
intestinal phosphatase, CIP). Phosphatase-treated iPHF was prepared
as follows. iPHF samples were resuspended in 1.times.NEB buffer 4
(50 mM potassium acetate, 20 mM Tris-acetate, 10 mM magnesium
acetate, and 1 mM DTT) at a final concentration of 0.05 .mu.g/ml.
One unit of CIP per .mu.g of iPHF was added (CIP, NEB Cat. No.
M0290S). iPHF samples were incubated with CIP for 90 minutes at
37.degree. C. prior to coating on ELISA binding plates. Following
antigen binding overnight, the plates were washed with TBS-T and
subsequently blocked with 150 .mu.l of TBS plus 2.5% BSA for 2
hours at RT. Purified control and anti-tau IgG, CBTAU-28.1), were
titrated in five-fold dilutions starting at 25 .mu.g/ml in
TBS/0.25% BSA, and IgGs and incubated for 1.5 hours. Plates were
washed four times with TBS-T and secondary antibody (anti-human Fab
HRP, Jackson Immunoresearch, Cat. No. 109-036-097) was added and
incubated at RT for 45 minutes. Following incubation, plates were
washed four times in TBS-T and developed with SureBlue Reserve TMB
Microwell Peroxidase Substrate (KPL) for approximately 2 minutes.
The reaction was immediately halted by the addition of TMB Stop
Solution (KPL) and the absorbance at 450 nm was measured using an
ELISA plate reader. Each experimental point was performed in
triplicate.
[0192] Results are shown in FIG. 7. As previously shown in Example
7, CBTAU-28.1 reacts poorly to iPHF by ELISA in contrast to AT8.
However, dephosphorylation of iPHF with CIP restores the reactivity
of CBTAU-28.1 to the filamentous sample. As expected, the
reactivity of the phospho-tau control mAb, AT8, is abolished after
dephosphorylation of iPHF with CIP.
Example 14
[0193] Reactivity of CBTAU-27.1, 28.1, 43.1, 47.1, 47.2 and 49.1 to
Phosphopeptides
[0194] The immunohistochemical results for CBTAU-27.1 (and
CBTAU-43.1) and CBTAU-28.1 (and CBTAU-46.1, 47.2, 49.1) suggest
that these mAbs react with an epitope on tau that is present in
normal, non-AD, tissue sections but is lost or masked during the
disease setting (FIGS. 5A-5D). It was hypothesized that this was a
result of a phosphorylation event within the region that results in
masking of the epitope(s). The experiments highlighted in Examples
12 and 13 showed that this was indeed true for 28.1. Therefore, it
was desired to specifically identify the site(s) that could
potentially be targeted for phosphorylation and account for loss of
reactivity for CBTAU-28.1. Because 47.1, 47.2, and 49.1 bound to
the same region on tau as CBTAU-28.1 (i.e., 52-71), it was decided
to test these mAbs as well in these experiments. In addition, the
same exercise was carried out for CBTAU-43.1 and CBTAU-27.1 as they
behave similarly to CBTAU-28.1 by IHC.
[0195] Singly and dually phosphorylated-tau peptides were designed
to cover all potential phosphorylation sites with regions 52-71 and
299-323 (CBTAU-28.1 and CBTAU-27.1 binding region, respectively).
CBTAU-27.1 and CBTAU-43.1 mAbs were tested against the peptides
listed on Tables 30 and 32.96-well streptavidin-coated ELISA plates
(Pierce) were coated with phosphorylated tau peptides as detailed
in Example 9. Purified anti-tau IgGs were diluted to 5 .mu.g/ml in
TBS containing 0.25% BSA, and titrated five-fold. Antibody control
and secondary antibodies were used as detailed in Example 9.
Antibody reactivity at 1 .mu.g/mL was determined by ELISA and
scored as no binding (-), weak (-1+), moderate (+), or strong (++).
(-) for average of two O.D. 450 nm readings <0.3; (-/+) for
>0.5 and <1.0; (+) for >1.0 and <1.5; (++) for >1.5.
Results for each antibody are shown in Tables 30-34 and FIGS.

[0196] The results for CBTAU-27.1 and CBTAU-43.1 show that
phosphorylation at S316 is sufficient to completely inhibit
reactivity (Table 30 and Table 32). This suggests that the loss in
reactivity to tau on AD tissue sections (Example 11) may be due to
phosphorylation at S316, an event that may occur early during the
course of the disease. For CBTAU-28.1, 47.1, 47.2, 49.1,
phosphorylation at either S61 or T63 is sufficient to completely
inhibit reactivity. Taken together, the results for CBTAU-28.1,
47.1, 47.2, and 49.1 suggest that phosphorylation at S61 and/or T63
is a mechanism that accounts for loss of this epitope during the
course of the disease.
Example 15
[0197] Generation of Anti-Tau mAb Mouse-Human Chimeras and Human
Isotypes
[0198] To test the efficacy of the human anti-tau mAbs in a mouse
model of tauopathy, mouse-human antibody chimeras were generated by
replacing the human Fc region with a mouse IgG1 Fc. Briefly, the
human IgG1 CH1 region was amplified from the pCB-IgG vector using
primers SteplHMchim-Fwd and SteplHMchim-Rev (Table 35) to generate
a 0.95 kb fragment containing a 5'-XhoI site (frag. 1). Mouse IgG1
CH2 and CH3 domains (Fc region) are amplified from a
gene-synthesized construct using primers Step2HMchim-Fwd and
Step2HMchim-Rev
[0199] (Table 30) to generate a 0.82 kb fragment (frag. 2). A third
fragment (frag. 3) was generated by amplifying the polyA region of
the pCB-IgG vector using primers Step3HMchim-Fwd and
Step3HMchim-Rev (Table 30), which includes a 3'-DraIII site. The
three fragments were linked into a single cassette by overlap
extension PCR to generate a 2.3 kb overlap fragment harboring the
human CH1 followed by the mouse CH2-CH3 domains. The overlap
fragment was subsequently cloned via the XhoI and DraIII sites into
the pCB-IgG CBTAU-7.1 vector to generate a mouse-human chimera of
CBTAU-7.1, containing the human variable, CH1, hinge and Ck regions
followed by the mouse CH2 and CH3 regions. CBTAU-22.1, 24.1, 27.1,
28.1, 47.1, 47.2, 46.1, 49.1, and 43.1 chimeras were then generated
by digesting the CBTAU-7.1 chimera construct and pCB-IgG CBTAU
human mAb constructs with XhoI and XbaI, and the corresponding
fragments were subcloned. Nucleotide sequences for all constructs
are verified according to standard techniques known to the skilled
artisan. Chimeric antibodies were subsequently expressed and
purified as detailed in Example 5 using Protein G agarose instead
of Protein A.

isotype. To generate additional human isotype versions (i.e.,
IgG2/3/4), the CH1 through CH3 region corresponding to each of the
human IgG isotypes is PCR amplified from gene-synthesized
constructs containing the corresponding constant regions, hinge,
and intron sequences. The PCR amplicons contain 5'-XhoI and
3'-DraIII sites, which are used to subclone the fragments into the
corresponding pCB-IgG CBTAU antibody construct. In this manner,
human IgG2, 3 and 4 isotype versions are generated for each of the
anti-tau mAbs.

[0202] Generation of De-Risked and Fc-Engineered Anti-Tau Chimeric
Monoclonal Antibody Variants
[0203] The heavy and light chain variable regions (VH and VL) for
each anti-tau antibody clone isolated in Example 3 are analyzed for
the presence of free cysteines and potential post-translational
modification sites, which include glycosylation, deamidation and
oxidation sites. Amino acid mutations consisting of structurally
conserved and/or germline-based substitutions are used to change
these sites. Non-conserved cysteines in the variable regions are
mutated to serine. For glycosylation sites, several mutations are
used, including replacement of asparagine for the conservative
glutamine or germline mutations. Modifications to the deamidation
sites include replacement of aspartic acid for asparagine and
serine or alanine for glycine. Sites of potential oxidation are not
modified. To increase the binding affinity to FcRn and thus
increase the half-life of IgG1 mAbs in vivo, several mutations
located at the boundary between the CH2 and CH3 regions are
generated. These mutations included M252Y/S254T/T256E plus
H433K/N434F (C. Vaccaro et al., 2005) or T250Q/M428L (P. R. Hinton
et al., 2004), which have been shown to increase IgG1 binding to
FcRn. All substitutions are generated by site-directed mutagenesis
per manufacturer's instructions (QuicKCHANGE.TM. II, Agilent
Technologies, cat. no. 200521). Nucleotide sequences for all
constructs are verified according to standard techniques known to
the skilled artisan.
